| Collapse all
- We have to learn how to work together. Nothing will ever improve if we are unable to have a civil conversation about the issues impacting our lives.
- Liberty and Justice, for ALL. There is no freedom until all citizens are equal regardless of gender, race, sexuality, religion, etc.
- I lead with the same expectations and no-nonsense approach I use to parent: honesty, respect, kindness, truth, and hard work.
I am pro-public education: I have 1 child in private school and 2 children in public school. There is absolutely no reason to defund our public schools by diverting funds to private schools, and it will be disastrous for rural communities.
I am a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate: Responsible gun owners (like ourselves) have nothing to fear from increased regulations on gun ownership, and the vast majority of Americans agree that we need to work to prevent gun violence.
We need to address the massive problems within Iowa's childcare industry with real solutions. The current shortage is greatly impacting working families and is unacceptable.
Diversity, inclusion, and representation are incredibly important in our society. I believe there is a place for everyone at our table.
I have a deep need to help people whenever and however I can. We live by the motto "Do all the good you can, for all the people you can, in all the ways you can, for as long as you can."
I am an excellent communicator and I believe bipartisanship is our best path forward.
Protecting a woman's reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. Human rights aren't debatable. Period.
The culture wars coming from our statehouse are unnecessary and toxic distractions. Diversity, inclusion, and representation benefit us all. It is disappointing to see many legislators promoting this hate-filled rhetoric and pushing for policies that exclude our fellow Iowans, especially when they should be focusing on how to improve our lives.
