I’m thrilled that @EricForIowa is running for re-election. Rep. Gjerde is a caring and dedicated legislator who exemplifies what it means to be a public servant. Residents in the new HD74 would be well represented by him! – at Des Moines, IA

Today Sheriff Gardner had the honor of presenting Deputy Will Halverson with the Purple Heart commendation award. Deputy Halverson was shot multiple times while responding to a robbery in-progress call in Coggon on June 20th. He has returned to work part-time while on light duty.

However House Rs dodged votes on several Democratic amendments that would have increased funding. Rep @MartiIowa proposed increasing state funds for victim services programs now facing big cuts: bleedingheartland.com/2021/0…
@EricForIowa proposed more $$ for comms used by prison staff.
The state's budget this year will also include a roughly $21 million funding increase for the Iowa Department of Corrections, assuming the Senate passes the budget today as it is expected to. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

A new voting law in Iowa just marked 400 17-year-old voters as inactive...for not voting in the last election. Sounds like another voting law that could use some tweaks.

"It’s not safe for the employees. It’s not safe for the offenders. It’s not working.” - Rep. @EricForIowa
ICYMI: State lawmakers are reacting to our story from yesterday about correctional officers making more than $700,000 in overtime the past two years. That's the prison where two workers died on the job. What they are saying tonight on @KCRG at 5 and 6.

Fortunate to be able to learn from education advocates at the capitol today!
Communities in Iowa are built on diversity. @EricForIowa
When you have a bill telling you what you CANNOT say, it is a red flag. This bill creates a fence around free speech. @LizMathis1

My thanks to my #HD67 representative @EricForIowa and all the other House Democrats who spoke the truth to deaf Republican ears today. They did what they could to defend our right to vote.
