Mom, chaplain, state lawmaker, and candidate for Congress. Driven by my faith to build a better IA02
It has been a real privilege to fight the good fight with Representative Cooling in the Iowa House. I am honored to have his support.

My faith is what has driven me as a state legislator to fight for those on the margins of society and it is what will drive me in the United States House.

One of the few downsides to running for Congress is that I only got to serve with Representative Ramirez for one session. The future looks bright with young leaders like her at the helm and I am honored to have her support.

Nearly a year out from when the One Big Beautiful Bill passed and we can already see it for what it really is, a no strings attached giveaway to corporations and billionaires.

Farmers are struggling in Iowa more than they have in years due to the reckless policies of this administration, including a unilateral decision to go to war without congressional approval. It is time for us to reign in the lawlessness.

The last time the federal minimum wage increased, "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas was number 1 on the Billboard charts. It is far past due for a minimum wage increase.

Farmers have waited 3 years for a new Farm Bill yet DC keeps playing games. Iowa farmers can’t afford Congress kicking the can further down the road, especially not during planting season.

My Republican opponent admitted that the policies coming from DC are hurting our rural healthcare providers. The same policies that just a couple of months ago he was touting and pledging his full support for. I’m proud of my 8 year record fighting for affordable healthcare.

My heart is heavy with the gutting news that Sgt. Declan Coady was killed. I offer my deepest condolences to his family & loved ones. No parent should know the pain of losing a child. Sgt. Coady & his fellow service members who lost their lives in this conflict are in my prayers.
