“Dismantling our public education system will only drive more educators away from this noble profession. We need to support educators and not make their jobs more difficult. We need to respect their work and expertise.”

Iowa City schools already made the difficult decision to close a beloved elementary. Now, officials must cut *another $2 million* because of Gov. Reynolds’ voucher law.
This was never about “school choice” – it’s about undermining public education.

Here's just a few things we want for EVERY Iowan:
💲 Wages you can raise a family on
🏥 Access to affordable health care
🌎 A thriving environment for the future

As Rep. Miller-Meeks holds a campaign fundraiser with Mike Johnson this afternoon, we're reminding everyone that her loyalty lies with MAGA Republicans in D.C., not here at home with the Iowans she's supposed to represent.

'Reynolds and the Legislature can’t claim to be crafting bills to answer Iowa’s unique needs. Several of the most objectionable laws clearly came from think tanks’ model legislation, copied the actions of other conservative-run states, or both.'

The Reynolds Voucher Scam hurts Iowa students. Our public schools have been underfunded for far too long. When Iowa Democrats retake our majority in the State Legislature, we’re going to ensure our public schools, students, & teachers get all of the support they need.

Iowa Democrats are committed to ensuring that Iowans never have to worry about government interference when it comes to making difficult medical decisions.

Nearly $180 million in tax dollars has been set aside for vouchers during the 2024-2025 school year. That’s $50 million more than was initially projected.

REMINDER: AG Brenna Bird thinks Donald Trump should be immune from criminal prosecution.

No one is above the law.

The 2024 #ialegis has ended and we're disappointed with the prioritization of divisive bills rather than ideas that will help Iowans. I will continue to listen and work for you. #PeopleOverPolitics

REALITY CHECK:
1. Schools across Iowa are closing or cutting staff & budgets thanks to years of underfunding our public schools.

2. Vouchers are handing $84 million in tax dollars to families that could already afford private schools that can turn away students for any reason.

If this legislative session proved one thing, it’s that Republican lawmakers are completely uninterested in listening to Iowans.

We deserve better.

Noncompete clauses keep wages low & prevent workers from moving to or starting a competing business. Yesterday, the FTC banned them.

The Biden-Harris Administration is standing with workers.

Another week, another batch of headlines revealing the harm done to Iowa public education this legislative session.

These consequences could have been avoided, but Republican lawmakers chose to put special interests ahead of Iowa children.

From attacking reproductive freedom to weakening our public schools & doing almost nothing to feed hungry kids across Iowa, it’s no surprise Kim Reynolds is the most unpopular governor in the country.

Happy #WorldBookDay2024 !

We believe Iowa’s public libraries are invaluable.

The IA GOP has proven to be a threat to our public libraries & access to diverse books.

'To those politicians who offer meaningless words of support but refuse to act and refuse to protect fertility treatments that simply help patients become parents — shame on you. You’re prohibiting people from achieving their dreams of parenthood.'

Chag Pesach Sameach!

We're wishing all of our friends & neighbors a joyous Passover.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a listening session featuring FTC Chair Lina Khan, Iowa Farmers Union, National Farmers Union, State Innovation Exchange, & a few of our Democratic lawmakers.

If we want our Ag industry to thrive, we must preserve competition.
