Growing the Democratic party in Clayton County Iowa by outreach and electing Democrats from the Whitehouse to the Courthouse.

[Iowa Senate Democrats @IowaSenate]

We need you at the Iowa Capitol!

The Senate will hold a public hearing at 2pm Wednesday on Gov. Reynolds’ plan to slash services & funding for Area Education Agencies.

Iowa relies on AEAs for essential education services. Tell lawmakers to reject this bill and save our AEAs.

This bill would allow anyone - with no training, certification, nothing - to be hired as a “chaplain,” and have unfettered access to your kids.

The Iowa GOP is completely fucking insane. I can’t underscore it. We’re barely underway. This is gonna get even more insane.

[Jonesingforthetruth @RiverRaccoon]

You’ve got 77 out 99 counties losing population with wealth increasingly concentrated in a millionaire landed gentry we’re supposed to believe the only way to get them to stop polluting is to reduce their property taxes which of course only hurts their non farming neighbors.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

We have got to start doing work to address the significant and growing number of young men leaving the Democratic Party. I think a number of things have cause this- 1. Trumps strongman energy / masculinity. 2 a growing education gap between men and women. 3. Right wing Masculinity influencers like Andrew Tate taking advantage of the isolation that covid brought and giving young men someone to blame (women, liberals, feminists) etc. We need to do a lot of work how to stop this hemorrhaging and also understand as much as we can what’s causing it.

[Claire Celsi @SenClaireCelsi]

Her office is redoing the bill, which will still severely restrict the services offered by AEAs and scramble their finances. Keep up the good work contacting all Republicans in the Legislature. Thank you!

[Clayton Cty IA Dems @CC_IADemocrats]

@IAGovernor @KimReynoldsIA wasted all her political capital on this 🤡. This and the AEA fiasco, and it really makes you question her judgment.

Rural schools depend on Iowa’s AEA system for mental health, crisis response, online learning and disability services.

Gov. Reynolds’ plan to cut back and consolidate the AEAs will hurt rural communities the most.

Tell Gov. Reynolds: don’t cut our AEAs! #ialegis

[Iowa Senate Democrats @IowaSenate]

Iowans are standing up for kids and demanding their leaders provide summer food aid.

Senate Democrats have a bill to ensure participation in the Summer EBT program. Now we need Republicans to join us in getting it done. #ialegis

🤔 How can you tell which government payouts and subsidies are socialism? 🤷‍♂️

[FarmPolicy @FarmPolicy]

Farmers and ranchers would like to see increased crop #insurance #subsidies and commodity #price supports in the new #FarmBill, and a strong majority support cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, according to an Agri-Pulse producer poll.

[Chuck Isenhart @ChuckIsenhart]

5,216 Dubuque Schools' students can get free summer meals if they can make it. In 2023, 940 got fed--less than 18%. Under the Summer EBT program, spurned by
@IAGovernor, the families of ALL these students can get $40 per month per kid for 3 months. How is that not a better deal?

[Iowa Starting Line @IAStartingLine]

“Today, Reynolds is much diminished. She upset [and] alienated a lot of Republicans with her endorsement and very active campaigning by DeSantis’ [side]. That goes against historic practices of leading Iowa politicians to sort of stay out of this thing.”

[Janice Weiner @janice4iowa]

We need summer EBT and SNAP to help cost-burdened families put food on the table as prices rise, per CCAN’s Mandi Remington.

[Iowa Starting Line @IAStartingLine]

New from @amierrivers: A Republican bill in the Iowa Senate would ban cities and counties from enacting conversion therapy bans in their local jurisdictions.
