Heading home from New Orleans where farmers and rural leaders discussed the future of agriculture, artificial intelligence, and caring for our communities. Great example of people working together for a better tomorrow! 🌾🤝 #FarmersUnion #IowaStrong

I’m gearing up for an amazing evening with 7 guest chefs and our incredible community. Join me to vote for your favorite soup and meet Sarah Trone Garriott! #SouperSunday #TomorrowTogether 🍲✨

Instead of solving real problems like rising costs and public education, Republican Leaders focus on making rich people richer like they want to do by privatizing IPERS. I’m running to fix that. #IowaSenate #BetterIowa #PublicService #TomorrowTogether #Leadership

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

Faith is about service and compassion, not exclusion or the pursuit of material things. It means compassion and service, not division or empty words. Let's choose leaders who unite and serve ALL Iowans.

I’m calling out how state tax cuts for the wealthy are causing local service cuts and higher property taxes. This is what happens with 10 years of the same failed leadership. #TaxFairness #LocalVoices #IowaEconomy #TomorrowTogether

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

Competition, not consolidation. Small businesses, family-size farms, and fairly-compensated workers. That's what we need for our communities to thrive, and that is who I'll fight alongside as we build a better #TomorrowTogether #Iowa #SmallBiz

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

I'm Tony Thompson, and I'm running for the Iowa Senate to build a better future for all hardworking Iowans and our families. It's time to solve real problems, and stop padding the pockets of the wealthy! #IowaSenate #TomorrowTogether

@GoKineticHome @Windstream Oh - we've tried that! Nothing about a service issue at this point; rather, it's a business integrity issue. Consider it resolved, much to my dissatisfaction!

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

@GoKineticHome @Windstream DM'd you yesterday! Hoping for some assistance!

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

@Windstream 5 yrs ago I signed agreement with you for fiber to my farm. Just completed 5 years at over $600/mo for what I understood to be covering cost of installation. Now I want to renew contract at reasonable rate, and you tell me broadband isn't available. What gives?

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

Efficiency is for idiots. Call me when you’re ready to talk optimization.

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

@hugedecay @ChuckGrassley Totally wrong. Very much a role for gov to fund advanced research (NASA research for going to moon spun off Americas wealth in the 60s and 70s) and research where there is not or should not be a primary motive for profit- like health.

[Tony Thompson @tony4iowa]

Just needed 1 minute to remind of the damage Republican leaders have done to Iowa during my lifetime by taking money from hardworking Iowans and giving it to their wealthy cronies, and how I’m ready to work alongside others to change direction! #polkcountydems #TomorrowTogether

[Tony Thompson @tony4iowa]

Full house to hear from Iowan author @AustinFrerick !! Book launch day, 5 years (or maybe 50 years…) in the making. A must read if you care about Iowa! #tomorrowtogether #wecandobetter

IA Governor said she wouldn’t cut special ed services, and then she went and did it. If you have experiences with Family Educator Partners please share them with our Governor and your legislators: https://t.co/zGcEuI0dkG

@connor_m30 Sheryl who?

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

@NCAA cleary has not fixed issues with women's basketball officiating. Hope they take care of that before tournament time. Not optimistic.

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

It’s pretty hard for me to be excited about having great locally-raised food on my plate if the half-full glass of water beside it is dirty. Duh.

COP28 didn't go so well. Resources are becoming available. There is reason to believe solutions can come faster than we think they can come. Corporate America is talking about Regenerative Ag. I’m feeling like humanity has a fighting chance. Here's why:

[Tony Thompson @SustainaT]

Not to worry… just remind them that in Iowa we don’t have clean water, that we don’t invest in our schools, and unless they are straight and white we don’t want them… and they won’t come here.

[Kim Reynolds @KimReynoldsIA]

Millions of people are illegally crossing the U.S. Southern border, and the Biden administration is sending them all across the country with no notice to governors.

We are demanding answers!
