Position Agriculture

Press release · 2026-03-05
-
Position Criminal Justice/Victims
“Victims of crime deserve reliable and immediate support after traumatic experiences. It's why I've been a longtime advocate of a strong and financially stable Crime Victims Fund that can rapidly meet the needs of crime victims and their families and invest in organizations like Family Crisis Centers of Iowa. I cosponsored and voted for the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act to ensure that this program has ample resources to assist Iowans in need by recovering dollars stolen by criminals and fraudsters and using those funds for victim rehabilitation – rather than relying on taxpayer dollars. This legislation will help keep this fund solvent for the future while supporting crime victims and protecting Iowa taxpayers.”

Position Government Ethics
“I have always believed that serving as a Member of Congress should be about service to the people, and should never be a profession where personal wealth can be made at the expense of our constituents. Our constituents put faith in us to act as public servants, and this measure is an important step forward to restore that trust. I am proud to have helped lead this legislation and pleased to see it move to the Senate for consideration.”
