Public money is for public schools and we must protect our AEAs. Our educators need our support so they can nurture and empower the next generation. Our youth need our love and guidance so they can have a bright future and become great leaders.
Let’s work together to improve the lives of everyone no matter what they look like, who they love, how they identify, or where they worship. I will fight to protect our Black, Brown and LGBTQ+ communities and build an Iowa where all are welcome and supported.
Everyone deserves the right to make their own health care decisions, especially when it comes to reproductive care. I believe that private health care decisions belong between you, your family, and your doctor.
We are in a mental health crisis. People can’t wait six months for appointments. We’ve got to increase funding to ensure we have enough help for those who need it most.
Working one job to support your family should be enough to buy groceries, cover rent or mortgage, pay for childcare and fill up the gas tank. Let’s lower costs and put more money in your pocket.
