MY VOTE TO BACK THE BLUE
Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities.
I was proud to support the Invest to Protect Act to fully fund our police and give them the tools they need to do their jobs. I’ll always back the blue 100%.
IOWA NATIVE ALEXIS TAYLOR NOMINATED FOR USDA UNDER SECRETARY FOR TRADE
In April, I sent a letter to President Biden urging him to nominate a qualified individual to serve as USDA Under Secretary for Trade.

MY MEETING WITH THE FARM JOURNAL FOUNDATION

ASSOCIATION OF EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS
I had an excellent conversation with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers to discuss American manufacturing competitiveness, precision agriculture advancements, and workforce matters.

CARROLL COUNTY GROWTH PARTNERSHIP MEETING
I enjoyed meeting with the Carroll County Growth Partnership last week.
