THE ISSUES
Karen understands the needs of Iowans in House District 23. With your help, she will make our communities stronger by focusing on:
FIRST RATE PUBLIC EDUCATION
Using tax dollars to pay private school tuition is wrong. Fully funding public schools is the way to ensure all students have the opportunities they deserve. Support for AEAs will maintain an essential system that is especially critical for rural communities. Decisions of elected local school boards should be respected.

​
​
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
Rural communities need healthcare options including mental health services now, not someday.
​
​
​
​
​
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
Women and their doctors must have the freedom to determine proper ob/gyn care without interference from politicians.
​
​
​
​
​
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Broadband, community redevelopment, and finding and training workers are essential issues.
​
