Clock provides Quad Citizens a non-judgmental, safe & reliable community center for LGBT+ individuals, to reduce any feelings of discrimination or isolation.
Iowa has a childcare crisis, a teacher shortage, a nurse shortage, tops the county in cancer, etc…. And our governor is creepily continuing to stare at everyone’s privates.

I’ve been enjoying my brief step back from bringing Iowans the news of the day, but I’m feeling ready to get back into the action. I’m so excited to share that later this month, I’ll be joining the digital team @wqad in the Quad Cities!!
