To provide the help they need, we must create more revenue streams for farmers, particularly small and mid-sized producers. We must extend beyond the traditional role of selling crops and livestock, and find additional ways that farmsteads can generate profits.

Discussions today regarding HF516 dealing with not allowing communities to purchase land for outdoor projects. The community foundations spoke against the bill and the bill failed to move forward. 😊

As Iowa leads the nation in certain cancers, statehouse Republicans are taking us the wrong direction, pushing a bill to prevent education about treatments that could prevent exactly those cancers. #ialegis desmoinesregister.com/story/…
HPV causes high cancer rates in Iowa. Why don't GOP lawmakers want to explicitly teach it?

This is the story of the 2023 legislative session: Republican politicians picking divisive culture-war fights instead of addressing the real issues facing Iowans. Iowa deserves better. #ialegis qctimes.com/news/state-and-r…
Critics: Iowa's GOP Legislature advancing 'national playbook,' Gov. Reynolds setting agenda

Critics: Iowa's GOP Legislature advancing 'national playbook,' Gov. Reynolds setting agenda

Republicans say they're responding to concerns of Iowans, but Democrats say the agenda coming out of the statehouse is a far-right national playbook.

I met with a group from Dubuque today talking about continuing the Historic Tax Credit. We had discussions about the positive impacts that the tax credit has on communities and the State.

SF478 lets government agencies hide documents from auditors. They could simply choose to bury waste, fraud, and abuse from public view. That’s why I call it the biggest pro-corruption bill in Iowa history.

I spoke today about the Governors reorganization of state government. I spoke about the harm the changes will make to the department of the blind. My father was blind and we dealt with challenges of his loss of eyesight. We need to support our blind people of Iowa.

It’s an honor to be at @USDA delivering on the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act. We have done a lot in the last two years, but we have more to do. As @POTUS says: let’s finish the job.
