Opposes broad elimination of the state income tax and emphasizes addressing corporate price-gouging and corruption that benefits wealthy interests.

Healthcare

Immigration & Border

Supports simplifying legal pathways and protecting due process while acknowledging enforcement concerns; opposes state-level immigration criminalization and seeks common-sense reforms that balance community safety with opportunities for people on paths to citizenship.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports protecting reproductive freedom and keeping government out of doctors’ offices; has led Iowa House Democrats in proposing a constitutional amendment to guarantee abortion and reproductive healthcare rights (including abortion up to fetal viability) and other measures to expand access to contraception and postpartum care.

Climate & Energy

Supports renewable fuels and has signaled climate change is an important issue for constituents; favors policies that support Iowa’s renewable fuels industry while focusing on practical economic issues for working Iowans. Positions emphasize clean-energy economic benefits rather than advocating for explicit Green New Deal–style phase-outs of fossil fuels.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports expanded background checks and other “common-sense” gun safety measures while opposing proposals to allow more guns on school property and efforts to block local gun-safety ordinances.
