👀Oh look, the @IADeptofEd is going against their own Science Standards Revision Team and moving to eliminate references to climate change & biological evolution in science classes. SPEAK UP AGAINST THIS NOW with a public comment: https://t.co/2MOUcgRt7b.

And she did it with compassion, intelligence, integrity, and grit. I am grateful.

Correct. When Iowa Republicans pass policies against what a majority of Iowans want, those Iowans should hold them accountable at the ballot box. Your chance to do that ends tomorrow at 8 p.m. Vote!

[State Rep. Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse]

Monday GOTV shirt: All you need is love.

I believe in the power of community & standing up for each other. I believe in the politics of hope, not the politics of fear & division.

Please join me in voting for hope & community.

Thanks to my manager Tess for having my back! 💙

[State Rep. Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse]

Yes! Iowans, you can still vote early today! For #HD42 voters, the Polk County Election Office is at 120 2nd Avenue, Des Moines.

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

All 99 Iowa county auditors' offices are open today for voting.
Bring your driver's license or non-operator ID.
If you need to register in Iowa for the first time or have moved since last time you voted, bring proof of address (e.g. lease, utility bill, paycheck, bank statement).

Are ballot selfies legal in Iowa? Can I wear campaign gear? What's allowed on Election Day https://t.co/QzRE8WZjrB

Sunday #GOTV message: channeling @CoryBooker with a reminder that we all RISE TOGETHER. 💙❤️🖤

Two days until Election Day, folks. The Iowa Poll shows our momentum but it only matters if we turn out the vote! Don't sit on the sidelines - join us for a volunteer shift! #HD42

[State Rep. Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Iowa is a purple state! Let's go!

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Thank you @IowaPublicRadio for the opportunity to share my goals for the next legislative session! #HD42

Absolutely disgusting.

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

I'm not sure people are grasping the full implication of what he's saying here: that to avoid family separation in mass deportation, Trump would also remove millions of US citizen children-a prospect that takes his deportation plan much deeper into the realm of ethnic cleansing

[State Rep. Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse]

My focus is on ensuring that no matter where you live in Iowa, you have economic security & opportunity. BOTH are important because life is about more than surviving; it's about thriving.
Let's keep working together for the policies that will help Iowans get ahead.

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

GOTV in the fast-growing Des Moines suburb of Ankeny is important not only for the #IA03 race.
Two #Iowa House Democrats are running for re-election in targeted districts (Molly Buck @MollyforAnkeny in HD-41 and Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse in HD-42). #ialegis

[NWS Des Moines @NWSDesMoines]

830 PM Radar: Storms have festered along the front in southwest Iowa. A strong storm remains possible. You can see the elevated front taking shape just south of Des Moines, which will be the start of some steady showers and scattered storms that will last through the night. #iawx

[State Rep. Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse]

When we tell you abortion bans will kill women, it's not hyperbole.

Amber's story is heartbreaking and I urge you to read it.

Elections have consequences. Vote to protect bodily autonomy, reproductive freedom, and access to safe medical care.

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories. https://t.co/ZZhqtEQdWB
