Democracy is at its best when the citizenry is engaged. Have your voice be heard at the Voucher Bill's Public Hearing this coming Tuesday, January 17th at 5 pm in Room 103 at the Iowa State House.
Sure, let’s work our butts off & have our tax dollars send 14k Iowa children to elite private education while our own 500k children take the brunt of it with less resources & crowded schools. Oh yes, really feels like the #ialegis has our kids’ best interest at heart. #novouchers
We're so excited to introduce our 2023 Board of Directors for the Altoona Area Chamber of Commerce!

I appreciate a school with a strong teachers union b/c it means:
1. Teachers are well paid
2. Teachers receive more resources to enhance learning
3. Class sizes are smaller
Which results in the best, competitive, and successful education for our children and future workforce.
@jimmyd108 I’m currently moving through stages of grief, taking time for self care, and figuring out how best I can serve my community with the platform I have. But I appreciate how much you believe in me! 💛💙💛
On the doors, I spoke to many women who care about our communities and schools. I encouraged them to run- no matter their party- b/c we need thoughtful and collaborative leaders. The future of our cities and schools starts with us.
Happy to talk to anyone interested at anytime!

Iowa Caucus Autopsy: industrial unionism post-WWII was instrumental in turning IA from a red state to a competitive two-party purple. Loss of union density over the last 30 years turned IA red again. Only a wave of New Labor organizing can turn the tide back once more #IACaucus
Just because republicans add “reform” to a committee doesn’t make it good for the hardworking families of Iowa and our future workforce.
This is a clear first step to prioritize the high class and penalize, us, the hard workers and our families.
Iowans beware.
New from @Rushthewriter: Iowa House Republicans announced today the creation of a new Education Reform Committee, designed to deal "with bills containing significant reforms to our educational system."

I was knocking the day before my election (Nov. 7th) and someone told me, “I voted for you. Yesterday, I dropped my ballot in the mail.” 💔
Over 350 (and more) absentee ballots didn’t make it to the polls in time and therefore were not counted in HD 40.
I lost by 421 votes…
“With demand in the construction industry growing in our state, Iowa’s building trades unions and their affiliated #apprenticeship programs are empowering more women to build skillsets to join the industry.”
