Hi folks, it’s Rita. I want to share some updates about what’s currently happening in our state, but before I do, IDP has an End-of-Month fundraising deadline tonight at midnight.

Will you pitch in a $25 donation today to help us reach our goal and execute our Forward: Victory 2026 plan for the future of Iowa? [[link removed]]

I’m proud to be a lifelong Iowan. I was born and raised in the Hawkeye State, and I spent my entire career teaching in small schools and working for our communities.

It’s impossible to be proud of what is happening to Iowa because of the Trump Administration and his GOP followers in the Iowa state legislature and Governor’s office.

Iowa Republicans are spending millions of taxpayer dollars on private school vouchers. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is attempting to abolish the Department of Education, which would cut into our state’s education budget even more.

As a former public school teacher, this is downright insulting. Our public schools need funding so that every Iowan child has a chance to succeed — especially in rural areas.

But Republicans are not acting to help children or working families. That’s why Elon Musk and DOGE have laid off more than 700 USDA jobs in Iowa. I own and operate a farm, and know firsthand how important Iowa’s agriculture is to our economy and country.

So, what are Iowa Republicans in the state legislature doing if not helping our public schools and farmers? They’re flaming division and invoking a culture war.

Yesterday, the GOP voted to pass an anti-trans law that would remove gender identity from the Iowa Civil Rights Act — a move deeply rooted in discrimination and hatred.

We’re rallying against these dangerous and short-sighted Republican policy decisions. Thousands of people showed up in Des Moines yesterday, and we’ll continue to take action to make sure that we elect better candidates who represent our values in the future.

That’s why I’m asking for your help before tonight’s important End-of-Month deadline. Will you chip in $25 to the Iowa Democratic Party today? Together, we can correct the disastrous policies we’re seeing and put Iowan families first. [[link removed]]

Iowans deserve to be prioritized over the ultra-wealthy. IDP will keep fighting for you.

In solidarity,
Rita
