We're big fans of public schools and the Iowa State Fair

Let me be clear. I am against vouchers and taxpayer money going to private schools. This will decimate rural schools and take money away from the 98% of Iowa children in public schools.

Welcome to Iowa:
$10,000 student loan forgiveness == bad, and we are going to sue to stop it
$7,598 for a school voucher == good, this will save us from public schools rather than fund them properly

Iowa Republicans only care about catering to the worst impulses in their party and putting politics ahead of Iowa kids’ safety.
Our kids deserve better than to be used as pawns by politicians who lack the empathy and compassion to imagine a world where everyone is accepted.

New from @patrynard: House Republicans introduced a bill today that would require school staff to out many LGBTQ students to their families regardless of their home situation. Co-sponsors include Speaker Pat Grassley.

Iowa's students deserve the best public education in the country. That's why I believe that public money belongs in public schools.

A subcommittee of the whole has been scheduled in the senate—TODAY—skipping the usual a public opportunity to speak. You can show up in RM116 at 11:30 and will likely be able to speak. Know pro vouchers folks were informed in advance, they’ll be there. More info below:

Well, well. Remember how the public emergency intercom interrupted the State Senate President’s speech teeing up vouchers?
This isn’t a test.
Private School Vouchers are ramming through the both house and Senate ED committee tomorrow with NO actual subcommittees.

I was proud to hold my hand on the prayer book of my great-grandfather Abraham Zabner. He immigrated from Ostrowiec, Poland to Venezuela. I can't imagine he would think that his great-grandson would be an Iowa state representative.

Our public schools are the lifeblood of our communities.
We need to fully fund our public schools, not siphon money away to unaccountable out-of-state corporations.

It can be incredibly dangerous to be pregnant in an abortion-restricted state. I am concerned about women, like Kaitlyn, who cannot get the care they need because of laws that criminalize doctors for doing their job.
These restrictions on women's bodies are absolutely shameful.

Iowa risks falling behind other states economically if we don’t become a place that is more hospitable to workers, not just large corporations.
Raising the minimum wage to at least $15 would benefit nearly half a million Iowa workers.
It’s time to do the right thing.
