IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE

Accessible healthcare is essential to keeping Iowa communities healthy, strong, and economically resilient. In rural areas, long distances, provider shortages, and hospital closures can make basic care difficult to access. Ensuring rural Iowans can see a doctor, afford treatment, and receive preventive care helps families stay healthy, supports local communities, and reduces costly emergency care.

CLEAN UP THE WATER IN IOWA

Clean water is essential to the health, safety, and prosperity of every Iowa community. In rural areas, families and farmers often depend on private wells and local waterways for drinking water, agriculture, and recreation. Protecting water quality safeguards public health, supports Iowa’s agricultural economy, preserves our natural resources, and ensures clean water for future generations.

SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS

A strong local economy keeps Iowa communities vibrant, creates good-paying jobs, and gives families opportunities to build their futures close to home. In rural areas like House District 23, supporting local businesses, farmers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs strengthens the tax base, attracts new investment, and helps sustain schools, infrastructure, and essential services while preserving the character of small communities.

INVEST IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Strong and properly funded public schools are the foundation of thriving Iowa communities, preparing students with the knowledge and skills needed for successful futures. In rural areas, schools are often at the heart of the community, supporting families, local economies, and civic life. Investing in quality education helps retain young families, attract employers, and strengthen communities for generations.

SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

Sustainable agriculture is essential to Iowa’s future, especially in rural communities where farming drives local economies and supports generations of families. Responsible farming practices protect soil, water, and wildlife while maintaining productive farmland. Investing in sustainability helps farmers remain profitable, strengthens rural communities, preserves Iowa’s agricultural heritage, and ensures our farms can feed future generations.
