| Collapse all
- Too many voices in Iowa are not being heard. When you are not heard your power is taken away. I want to give the people of District 93 their voices back. I hear them when they are concerned about education and the AEAs. I hear them when they talk about a women's right to healthcare. I hear comments about tax cuts and not funding programs for people with disabilities. I hear the voices of the people and I will be the candidate to bring them to Des Moines!
- We need to work together to create an Iowa where our children want to learn here, stay here, work here and raise families here. We need to work on improving Iowa so people will stay here by working on things like minimum wage, affordable housing and competitive job offerings.
- We need to put people above politics. We need to work on creating policies that help families, continuing to work on making Medicaid, snap, public housing, etc more accessible. Let's talk about how we can help families afford their groceries, their bills and to take care of their children.
