Effectively Managed the State Budget

Created Certainty for Iowa Taxpayers and Employers
- Excerpt: "With the constant overreach, intrusion and insecurity made by the federal government, we were keenly aware of the challenges facing Iowa taxpayers and employers and worked to lessen the burdens they face at the state level."
Created Certainty for Iowa families
- Excerpt: "House Republicans focused this session on tearing down obstacles for hardworking middle class families. We worked to find ways to free Iowans from the harassment of government intrusion into their lives and instead simply allow them to raise their families and enjoy their communities."
Expanded Opportunities for Iowa’s Veterans
- Excerpt: "We recognized Iowa’s veterans are some of the most skilled and highly-trained men and women in the country. In an effort to honor those who are already in Iowa and encourage more to come here and enrich our communities and work for Iowa companies, I along with other veterans led the way in passing the Home Base Iowa Act. This package of legislation is designed to attract veterans back to Iowa and ensure they have the opportunities they need to be successful when they return."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
