Issues

Education

Creation of a well-educated workforce is essential to growing the Iowa economy. Jobs being created today require proficiency in logic, communication, reading and technology. It is essential that we continue to invest in ensuring that children start school ready to learn.

High Wage Jobs

I support assisting businesses through creation of an economic climate which incorporates progressive tax policy, limited regulation and a well educated workforce to grow business in Iowa. High quality jobs are created by business not government.

State Budget

Our state budget currently is balanced and should remain so. Our state constitution requires that we submit a balance budget annually. Iowa has ensured that we manage our fiscal house by adhering to Iowa 99 percent spending limitation.
