Election Protection begins with YOU!

Iowans are needed across the state, especially in rural areas, to get trained to observe at the polls and help make sure our elections run smoothly. This is your chance to step up, show up, and be a Democracy Defender.

Poll Observers must have signed documentation from a party chair to observe elections. Get trained, get connected, and get involved.

We live in a state with Republican control of the legislature for the last 10 years and the Governor’s office since 2011. On the national level the House, Senate, Supreme Court and Presidency are controlled by Republicans but yet the minority party is still the cause of all the problems? Make it make sense.

Cattlemen, weigh in on this announcement. We want to hear your thoughts and feedback.

𝗜𝗼𝘄𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

President Trump’s announcement today about importing foreign beef is extremely disappointing to the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and its members. The President’s comments and decisions have created unnecessary volatility in the market just today. The drop in the markets will directly impact their profitability and bottom line, and in turn impacts decisions our producers are making about expanding their cattle herds. We believe the government should avoid intervention and let the market work.” said Craig Moss, Iowa Cattlemen’s Association president. “Members of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association have been reaching out to express their concerns. Just a week ago, many cattle feeders in the state lost one of their marketing options with the closing of Tyson’s Joslin plant, today they are taking another hit with this announcement. What we know is that consumer demand for the high-quality beef raised by U.S. producers has remained strong. Consumers have been willing to pay for beef. Simply put, it is supply and demand economics.  Iowa’s cattle industry is uniquely positioned to play a significant role in expanding the nation’s cattle herd. There is no better place to grow than right here in Iowa. We have productive pastureland, forage and feed resources, strong crop and livestock integration, and the infrastructure needed to support that growth.

Elections matter! So does elderly care and mental health services that have been systematically dismantled and deregulated under the Iowa GOP’s leadership.

After 10 years of Republican control in Iowa, access to healthcare has only gotten worse. More than 250 healthcare facilities have closed, and more are on the verge of closure.
