From a constituent in West Des Moines, IA4/6Proposal to Expand IPERS Access for Voluntary Participation
Iowa should allow private-sector, gig, and self-employed workers to voluntarily opt into a state-managed retirement plan through IPERS. Millions of Iowans face retirement with little to no savings, and the current private retirement system is failing too many people. IPERS is well-managed, stable, a
From a verified voter in Fort Dodge, IA4/4Resist rising fascism, defend democracy resolutely in Iowa.
As fellow Iowans, we must confront the stark reality that fascism is manifesting in our nation. Its insidious influence has taken root through the normalization of cruelty, the redefinition of truth, and the selective application of the rule of law. We cannot afford to euphemize or downplay this gra
From a constituent in Altoona, IA4/1The Attorney General's attempt to strip Winneshiek County of all state funding is an egregious abuse of power. This punitive action is unjustified and sets a dangerous precedent of undermining local governance and autonomy. The state should not be wielding its authority to bully counties into compli
From a verified voter in Carroll, IA3/20Veto bill SF 603
This bill needs to be vetoed. The amendment to Senate File 603 which was passed in the Iowa Senate today takes away the ability for cities, counties, school districts and other public entities to consider whether developers, including developers seeking millions of dollars in tax incentives, will
From a constituent in Waukee, IA3/20No to removing language regarding bullying
What world are living in right now in Iowa? House File 865? Removing any of the language including “gender identity, sexuality, race, political belief and familial status” does absolutely nothing but invite harm to students. Why are they wanting to remove this language other than to invite bullying
From a constituent in Cedar Falls, IA3/17“Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth.” Remember the oath you swore and think of all the voices crying out for mercy. The people you serve who are suffering, crying out for help. For a country that shamed North Korea, Russia and China, we sure ar
From a verified voter in Ames, IA3/17Town hall schedule
I'm a registered Republican. I know you hate Tim Walz. But at least he's willing to talk to voters. How do you know what Iowans want if you refuse to talk to them? Surrounding yourself with nothing but lobbyists doesn't give you any idea what average Iowans are struggling with and care about.
From a verified voter in Bettendorf, IA3/13Protect libraries' advocacy rights through professional associations
House File 880 should not become law, as it would unfairly restrict the ability of libraries to advocate for themselves and their communities through professional organizations like the American Library Association. Libraries provide essential resources and services that enrich society, and limiting
From a constituent in Des Moines, IA3/13Opposition to Funding Reallocation in Senate Bill SF445
governor I am writing to express my strong opposition to the reallocation of funds from essential childcare programs to new initiatives under your administration as proposed in Iowa Senate Bill SF445. Weakening successful, established programs in favor of untested alternatives is not in the best int
From a verified voter in Fort Dodge, IA3/13Your Raise
I'm the state of Iowa, where the governor has famously and repeatedly argued that the $7.25 minimum wage is just fine, your proposed wage increase for yourselves REALLY enrages me. It's a disgusting money grab while suggesting that the rest of us regular folks can get by on nothing. 80% increase for
