Thursday I have a subcommittee on SJR 2010, this would make the American Cream Draft Horse the official horse of the state of Iowa. What do you think of this and what other sorts of things should be the official thing of Iowa? I'll go first, the official pie should be apple pie.

This week’s newsletter outlines the final school funding numbers schools are expected to see. Unfortunately, the funding level is not where it needs to be, and I’m concerned it could lead to program cuts and increased property taxes. I welcome your thoughts and questions anytime.

Today I signed a letter urging Whirlpool Corporation to reconsider the layoffs planned for its Amana facility this March. Iowa workers and communities have powered this company for generations, and we cannot afford to see these jobs sent overseas. I stand with our manufacturing workforce and will keep fighting to protect good paying Iowa jobs.

“Working Iowans are the backbone of our economy. When layoffs hit, it’s not just jobs that disappear; it’s stability for families and our local communities. If we want a strong Iowa economy, we have to stand up for the workers who power it every day.”
