Democratic candidate for Iowa Senate District 17 in the heart of Des Moines.

I was told that I shouldn’t talk about this while running for office. But I refuse to be silent on issues that I deeply believe in.

I believe, to my core, that a woman has the right to make her own healthcare decisions. #GiveChoiceAVoice

With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, I am using every tool in my toolbox to protect abortion access. I implore other leaders to do the same.

My opponent stands proud with a man responsible for IA’s primary industries losing OVER $1.7b. Kim & Trump’s extremism works for special interests, but their narrow vision is no good for everyday Iowans. We need real investments in public education, healthcare, jobs, and housing.

This post has so much in it about what comes next. It’s a good read.

As we celebrate, we must also acknowledge there is so much more work to be done in the fight for equality and justice for LGBTQIA+ Iowans and I’m ready to get to work fighting for these rights!

I have fought and will continue to fight for every woman's freedom to control:
their own healthcare,
their own body,
their own future

I am 100% for funding our students' classrooms and fully support parents, teachers and students.

Thank you @Senator_Hatch for the Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin guest post - a powerful and humbling reflection on what real leadership looks like and how important our next battles are. I appreciate you and everything you have done for Iowa.

I had the honor of appearing as a guest on ⁦@RachRodgersEsq⁩ Hello Seven podcast. I’m grateful for the guidance and friendship she’s offered as my business mentor over four years of working together. I know for both of us, the best is yet to come! https://t.co/QpdkGrDCL0

[Grace Van Cleave @GraceForIowa]

Good stuff from @IAStartingLine here. The fight for control of women’s bodies is on, and we need women leaders to #GiveChoiceAVoice

[Iowa Democrats @iowademocrats]

No Iowan should have to put their own health in jeopardy to please a group of conservative fringe legislators. https://t.co/YYoXjnvb9J

[Grace Van Cleave @GraceForIowa]

Thank you Jamie!! I am so excited & grateful to have the support of the people who fight for our reproductive rights every single day at the Capitol. Planned Parenthood reps going back 15 sessions are standing with me as we prepare for the fight to come -and to #GiveChoiceAVoice
