Iowa Senate Democrats

Happy Halloween, Iowa!

Halloween may only happen in October, but Iowans have been fighting Republican lawmakers' scary priorities for a full decade now.

Iowa's skilled workers are highly capable, reliable, and professional. We'll always stand shoulder to shoulder in demanding fair pay, good benefits, and safer workplaces for the men and women who power our state.

We believe every Iowan has the right to age with dignity, and we will continue to support legislative efforts to improve long-term care in our state. You can read more about some of the policy issues facing older Iowans here: tinyurl.com/2kr4ccka

Every Iowa child deserves access to a world class public education, but after ten years of Republican control, state support for our public schools has fallen far behind.

Senators should put their constituents' interests first. Did yours?

If you haven't turned in your filled out absentee ballot, you should take it to your county auditor's office to ensure it's received in time! Don't let any issues in the mail keep your vote from being counted!

It's your healthcare. It's your water. They're your schools. They're your jobs. Senate Democrats are here to work for and to support YOU. We'll never put special interests ahead of YOUR needs.

When housing costs rise, they impact every other part of a household budget. Maybe you spend less on groceries, put off a car repair, or delay a doctor's visit. It all adds up. We want to release the pressure and help all Iowans find reliable housing they can afford.

Election Day is just one week away! There's still plenty of time to vote early in person. Visit iwillvote.com to find out where to go!

Healthcare shouldn't be an extravagance. Iowans shouldn't have to choose between filling a prescription and putting food on the table. A doctor's visit shouldn't require several hours in the car.

Issues like high costs, low local availability, high worker turnover, and low state assistance all contribute to a childcare landscape that leaves many Iowa families struggling to access the care they need for their children.

The ads end on November 3rd. Remember to vote!

Ten years of Republican control at the Capitol have seen Iowa's public school kids denied the support they deserve.

The combination of sky-high diesel prices, spiking healthcare costs, and higher costs for household goods is putting the squeeze on Iowa's farmers.

Early voting is open through November 2!

Iowa workers held the line and won themselves better workplace conditions. Congratulations!

Iowans work more hours per week than our Midwestern neighbors while earning less per hour, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
