| Collapse all
- Healthcare Reform
- Adequate Funding for Public Education
- Economic Equity
Public education in Iowa is also a major passion as well. Not too long ago Iowa ranked number 1 in education. We are currently no where near that. Our legislators need to ensure that proper funding for public schools is the priority.
One major benefit though is the ability to pass legislation in a more timely fashion .
