We just passed bipartisan legislation to invest in Iowa’s key locks & dams, reform flood management policy, and fund improvements for flood mitigation. I am proud to have worked hard to ensure Iowans’ voices were heard as WRDA 2020 was crafted. #IA01 finkenauer.house.gov/media/press-re…

We can't ignore the importance of taking care of those who care for our veterans. The president just signed our new law that creates a pilot program providing support to families & caregivers of veterans who have a mental health diagnosis. #IA01 finkenauer.house.gov/media/press-re…

Today I introduced legislation with @RepCindyAxne & @daveloebsack to improve COVID-19 data and correct errors so that policymakers, health officials and Iowans can trust the information they receive and use it to end this pandemic. #IA01 finkenauer.house.gov/media/press-re…

I sent a letter to @RepPeterDeFazio outlining next steps for reining in fund-swapping, which allows local governments to dodge fair-wage and Buy-America provisions on building projects. We must do more to protect local workers & small businesses. #IA01 finkenauer.house.gov/media/press-re…

The best way to power our economic recovery is to support hardworking Americans and grow U.S. manufacturing. That’s why we introduced the Building Back American Manufacturing Act to ensure we’re supporting American jobs and American-made products. #IA01 finkenauer.house.gov/media/press-re…

Iowa communities are still recovering from the August derecho. Today, I was proud to help pass the FEMA Assistance Relief Act of 2020, which increases the federal share of recovery costs and eases the burden for hard-hit local communities. #IA01 transportation.house.gov/news/press-rel…

BILL PASSED – The House just passed our bipartisan Child Care is Economic Development Act. Full economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on good jobs for working parents — and affordable, accessible care for their kids. #IA01 finkenauer.house.gov/media/press-re…

On this Veterans Day, we thank the men & women in uniform and their families who have sacrificed so much on our behalf. Our vets defend our country and uphold our values, and for that they deserve our thanks today and every day. #IA01
