Thanks to all the Iowa legislators who met with volunteers and constituents at the Capitol yesterday to learn more about our legislative priorities, including a bill to make it easier for homeowners to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit on their property: https://t.co/Oevzx3HzlL

BREAKING: @MattBlake_IA just FLIPPED Iowa’s SD-22! Matt is committed to bringing common sense and mutual respect back to the state Senate at a time when unpopular, extremist legislation threatens Iowans’ fundamental freedoms.

Republican lawmakers have funneled over $1 million away from Johnston & Urbandale public schools in the first year alone, all to fund private school vouchers. Our public schools, where most Iowa students are educated, deserve that investment!

It’s not just Trump who poses a threat to democracy – his MAGA minions in the states are eroding voting rights. That’s why we have to elect Democracy Defenders like these 10 candidates running in some of the most competitive state legislative races: https://t.co/cTSdN1mD4O
