Economy, Wages & Working Families

 

Raising wages and ensuring equal pay for equal work across all sectors.

 

Supporting small businesses and family farms, not multinational corporations that exploit our land and labor.

 

Restoring labor protections and the right to organize for fair pay, benefits, and job security.

 

Addressing the rising cost of living, including housing, utilities, groceries, and childcare.

 

Expanding paid family leave and affordable childcare so working parents aren’t forced to choose between a paycheck and their families.

 

Ending unfair trade practices and reckless tariffs that hurt Iowa farmers and manufacturers.

 

Holding corporations accountable for price gouging and offshoring jobs while taking taxpayer subsidies.

 

We also need leaders who understand that economic justice is racial, gender, and generational justice too.

 

That’s why I support strong protections for women, BIPOC workers, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and veterans in the workforce.

 

Every Iowan deserves the dignity of a living wage, a stable job, and a chance to build a secure future.

 

We can build a stronger economy by investing in the people who drive it—not just those who profit from it.
