HELLO HOUSE DISTRICT 75 FROM THE STATE CAPITOL!

The Iowa Legislature just completed the first week of the session with some great ambitions on the agenda, such as helping to create more quality paying jobs and improving rural broadband coverage.A few of my goals are to lower taxes in one way or another, be it income, inheritance, or property taxes. Since we had a nice surplus of $289 million for fiscal year 2019, this belongs to the hard-working people of Iowa!Another one of my goals is to get more money for EMS services in smaller communities.
