Issues In-Depth

Iowa must protect landowners’ rights and oppose the misuse of eminent domain for private gain. I stand with Iowa’s landowners, working to ensure their voices are heard and their property is protected against projects like CO2 pipelines that threaten their livelihoods.

Iowa’s working families deserve better support. Out-of-state corporations often receive tax breaks, leaving Iowa’s small businesses and communities struggling. As your State Senator, I continue to advocate for fair wages, stronger support for small businesses, and opportunities that keep our best and brightest here in Iowa to grow our economy.

I also work to ensure adequate police, fire, and emergency services, especially in rural areas, so every community member can feel secure and supported. Together, we can make Iowa a safe and welcoming place for all families to live, work, and thrive.

Our veterans have made incredible sacrifices, and we owe them a debt we can never fully repay. As your State Senator, I continue to fight for better mental and physical healthcare, affordable housing, and job opportunities for veterans. Supporting those who served is a non-partisan responsibility that strengthens all of Iowa.

Safe communities are essential for Iowa’s success. I am committed to ensuring access to quality mental health care, strengthening support systems for our elderly, and advocating for healthcare that works for Iowa’s most vulnerable.

Clean waterways and sustainable energy are essential for Iowa’s future. I am committed to protecting Iowa’s water resources by working with farmers and communities to reduce runoff into lakes and streams while promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Iowa is a leader in clean energy, and I continue to advocate for expanding wind and solar energy resources to create jobs and lower energy costs for families and farmers.
