REMINDER: Private school vouchers are a scam that overwhelmingly benefits the wealthiest Iowa families.
In 2023, a GOP proposal would’ve exempted children from workers’ compensation benefits for workplace injuries and deaths. While we stopped that from happening, the final bill still failed to comply with federal child labor laws despite child labor violations still happening here.

“Tragically, Trump’s past decisions and his plans for the future put women’s lives in danger. Trump has bragged about nominating three Supreme Court justices who were instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade.” iowastartingline.com/2024/05/07/tru…
Currently, 10 nursing homes in Iowa are eligible for increased oversight due to their poor conditions. Republican lawmakers chose to turn down every opportunity they had to address this crisis. They should be ashamed. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/05/06/iow…
Happy National Teacher Day to Iowa's amazing educators. Their tireless efforts help shape future generations of Iowans every day, & we can't thank them enough for the difference they continue to make. Make sure you thank a teacher today!
May is #MentalHealthAwareness Month! This month & every day, Iowa Democrats are committed to expanding access to mental health services across the state to ensure every Iowan has the support they need. It's past time that we remove the stigma surrounding mental health.
Happy National Nurses Week! We're immensely grateful for nurses' invaluable contributions to healthcare. This week, let's celebrate the unwavering compassion and dedication of all our incredible nurses across Iowa.
3 bills my opponent Eddie Andrews supported that I will be voting to repeal if elected. -6 week abortion ban -School voucher bill -Arming teachers bill
Congratulations to all of IDP's new SCC members & National Delegates who were elected during our District Conventions over the weekend!
We're wishing a very happy birthday to IDP Chair @IDPRitaHart! 🥳
Happy #CincoDeMayo to all of our friends & neighbors who are celebrating today.
It's a great night to plant some beans!
This month, we celebrate the history and culture of Iowa’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and recognize their contributions that have enriched our state.
My statement on Donald Trump & Iowa Republicans' continued attacks on reproductive freedom in the wake of Florida's six-week abortion ban taking effect:
Join us on Zoom tomorrow evening at 6:00 p.m. for a relational organizing training. We'll introduce folks to the grassroots organizing app Reach & all of its features! Please register in advance here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
May is #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth, a time to celebrate the history & contributions of diverse Jewish communities that have helped move our state & nation forward.
On #InternationalWorkersDay, we renew our commitment to strengthening workers' rights here in Iowa & reflect on the Labor Movement's historic achievements, from establishing the two-day weekend to winning the right to unionize.
Thanks to Republicans in Congress, 124,000 Iowans will be facing higher internet costs as funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program expires at midnight. Our representatives have turned their backs on rural Iowans.
Today, State Auditor @RobSandIA called for four-year degree requirements to be removed from some state positions. This step will help ensure qualified individuals are encouraged to apply & positions are filled. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/04/30/aud…
We're getting closer to the June 4th Primary! Here's an overview of deadlines voters should be aware of. We'll share more about each in the weeks ahead.

My statement on Donald Trump & Iowa Republicans' continued attacks on reproductive freedom in the wake of Florida's six-week abortion ban taking effect:
Iowa City schools already made the difficult decision to close a beloved elementary. Now, officials must cut *another $2 million* because of Gov. Reynolds’ voucher law. This was never about “school choice” – it’s about undermining public education. thegazette.com/k/iowa-city-sc…
You are paying for rich families’ kids to go to private school while your neighborhood school has fewer resources. In 144 districts, property taxes will go up to pay the difference. The voucher scheme is a win for special interests while the rest of us foot the bill.
Nearly $180 million in tax dollars has been set aside for vouchers during the 2024-2025 school year. That’s $50 million more than was initially projected. iowastartingline.com/2024/04/24/iow…
The 2024 #ialegis has ended and we're disappointed with the prioritization of divisive bills rather than ideas that will help Iowans. I will continue to listen and work for you. #PeopleOverPolitics
Another week, another batch of headlines revealing the harm done to Iowa public education this legislative session. These consequences could have been avoided, but Republican lawmakers chose to put special interests ahead of Iowa children.
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a listening session featuring FTC Chair Lina Khan, Iowa Farmers Union, National Farmers Union, State Innovation Exchange, & a few of our Democratic lawmakers. If we want our Ag industry to thrive, we must preserve competition.
Your daily reminder that because of the @IowaGOP, our tax dollars are paying for rich kids in our largest cities to go to private school. This terrible legislation is already forcing public school to cut budgets and close schools.
Great news! We've been pushing for a vote & it finally passed the House! TBH, it's ridiculous @IAHouseGOP played politics so long it almost didn't get done. Survivors deserved better. #PeopleOverPolitics
House budget committee advanced the bill by a vote of 24-1. House will take it up later today. Told the governor will sign the bill today, if the House can get it to her desk. Told the committee vote is a good indication bill will pass & get signed today. thegazette.com/state-governme…
Tortured legislators department.
Senate Democrats have been fighting all session long for accountability and oversight in Iowa nursing homes. Tonight, once again, Senate Republicans refused to act when given a chance to address the elder-care crisis. #ialegis

A six week abortion ban could be coming to Iowa in June. It’s time to protect our right to reproductive freedom and abortion in the Iowa Constitution. Join us & be ready to fight back: bit.ly/3VXoeOV
When state funding fails to keep pace with inflation, local Iowa school districts are faced with impossible choices. Seven years of chronic underfunding is seven years too long. Our kids and our communities need support they can rely on.
.@SarahforIowa's response to new grant funding for expanded summer meal sites senate.iowa.gov/democrats/2024…
It’s been *less than a week* since the governor signed into law her plan to dismantle Iowa’s AEAs, and professionals are already planning to leave Iowa. Not only does this law shortchange kids and families – it magnifies our workforce crisis, too.
School librarians and media specialists are more important to Iowa’s youth now than ever. Your work to preserve student access to technology, information, and diverse literature makes a difference each day. THANK YOU for all you do – for our children and the future of our state.
