THE ISSUES
Our District's residents and the landscape are ready to thrive. Tommy's priorities all center around running Iowa's government like a responsible business - using our state's budget to reinvest in programs that result in thriving small towns and family farms to make sure that Iowa can remain the "Fields of Opportunity" for generations.
Public Education
Public education is the foundation of a civic-minded population. In the 1990s, Iowa was in the top 5 in education - today, we rank 41 out of 50. I will support our teachers and encourage investments in positive learning experiences for children of all backgrounds.

Small Business and Farms
Iowa is home to many small businesses as well as many major massive out-of-state corporations. Growing small businesses means more money and more jobs stay in Iowa's communities. I will promote programs that support small business development and challenge corporate control.

Critical Resource Access
I will support people's right to good food, medical and reproductive care, and housing regardless of any pre-existing conditions or hoops to jump through. I will stand tall for food, housing, and reproductive freedom for all.
