Welcome
My name is Molly Donahue, and I am proud to serve as your Iowa State Senator.
With over six years of legislative experience, I continue to advocate for policies that strengthen our communities, support families, and ensure a brighter future for all Iowans.
A Strong Voice
for Iowa’s Communities
Experience That Makes a Difference
My experience as a State Representative and Senator equips me to advocate effectively for policies that benefit all Iowans, from small towns to urban centers.

Iowa is number one in cancer cases. No corporation should have immunity from lawsuits for medical expenses, loss of work, or loss of life, due to their products.
Molly is committed to protecting the health and well being of our communities. Putting people over politics—not bending to the will of corporate America.
Molly’s Commitment to Iowa:
Compassion, Integrity, and Equality
As your State Senator, Molly represents the voice of Iowans across the state, advocating for our small towns and rural communities, accessible to the people she serves.
