@IowaSenate Don’t forget administrative and social work staff. Iowa should eliminate other $$ given to private schools like the School Tuition Organization (STO), a 75% tax credit on every dollar donated for private school tuition -- the highest tax credit allowed for ANYTHING in state law.
Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) and the USDA have offered Free Summer Meals for over 40 years. This year, meals will be available beginning Next Monday at 29 sites throughout the city. https://t.co/1tw7C5QBNw
Reproductive decisions are none of the government’s business! A woman can decide about her pregnancy with input from whoever she likes. Stand up for women’s rights and against the special session attacking abortion rights by signing the petition here: https://t.co/njBMxBsmsE
ExxonMobil raked in $20 billion in profits last quarter and has announced $50 billion in stock buybacks. Folks, corporate greed is a main driver of inflation -- not government spending.
At the DM March for Our Lives, students said they feared shootings at school. Our kids shouldn’t fear going to school; teachers with guns are not the answer. Our Legislators and Governor must put lives ahead of politics and passes gun safety measures. #Iowa
It’s time @ChuckGrassley vote for the “Respect For Marriage Act” and treat the love of all Iowans with dignity. Everyone has the right to love and celebrate their love in marriage regardless of religion, ethnicity, and gender identity.#LoveIsLove
Rural Iowa public schools can’t afford @IAGovernor’s policy to move public school funds to private schools. Nor can unemployed Iowans, privatized Medicaid recipients, or our most vulnerable. We cannot stop advocating for our future - it's on the line. #Iowa
We must keep fighting for Iowa’s future because we deserve to earn living wages, make our own reproductive decisions, give our kids a great education, clean up the environment, and see brighter days. Because what we’re fighting for is too important. #Iowa
Kim Reynolds thinks you’re stupid. She thinks you’ll fall for her lies about me wanting to “defund the police” and supporting abortion up until birth. She’s dead wrong, and tomorrow, we’re going to prove it to her.
I believe in our public schools, the freedom to access the health care we all need, safety in our homes and streets, and a better #Iowa. That’s why I voted & I hope you will too! #ProtectOurCare#PublicMoneyBelongsInPublicSchools
Starting the school year w/o math and science teachers ≠ fully funded public schools. Kim Reynolds is failing our students. I’m asking for your vote to change that. Share this w/ 3 friends who haven’t voted yet. #GOTV#WorthTheWork
Hey @ChuckGrassley, if you’re all about fairness, do you care to comment on the $1.75 million in federal farm subsidies you & your family have taken despite being a multi-millionaire?! #Iowa#IASen
While @IAGovernor Reynolds is focused on taking away our reproductive freedom, many Iowans are simply trying to get by since she’s cut unemployment and SNAP benefits. It’s time she got her hands off our bodies & focused on making lives better! #Iowa#AbortionIsHealthCare
