We believe it’s time to put everyday Iowans back at the front of the line again. Iowans just want a decent paying job, affordable health care and the chance to lead a good life.
In recent years, the Governor and Republicancontrolled Legislature have imposed policies that don’t reflect Iowa values and aren’t in the best interest of everyday Iowans. At the same time, Republican politicians have moved millionaires, corporations and other special interests to the front of the line — at the expense of working Iowans. They get tax breaks and backroom deals, while working families, seniors and students are pushed to the back of the line.
That means stagnant wages, rising health care costs, and more Iowans living paycheck to paycheck.
Our Putting Iowans First plan focuses on our shared Iowa values: fairness, compassion, dignity, equality and liberty. What follows is an outline of priorities that reflects those Iowa values.
Please share your thoughts with us to ensure we are doing all we can to help you, your family and your community.
Working together, we can put Iowa back on the right track!
Yours in Service,
Janet Petersen Todd Prichard Democratic Leader of the Iowa Senate Democratic Leader of the Iowa House
