It’s back to school season folks! Most Iowa kids went back this past week, and we’re wishing all students, teachers, and faculty a great school year ahead.

As IDP, we’re firm proponents of public education. That’s why we find it to be so shameful that public schools have been completely neglected under Governor Kim Reynolds and Republicans in the state legislature.

Private school vouchers — funded by taxpayer dollars —- have stripped away MILLIONS in funding for public schools. And with state officials approving even more students for Iowa’s ESA program, costs for private school vouchers could reach $349 million.

Let us be clear: students shouldn’t receive a less quality education because their public school has lost funding to wealthy private school families.

IDP has an end-of-month fundraising deadline tomorrow, and reaching our goal helps us invest in Democratic candidates who want to strengthen public education funding for ALL of Iowa’s students.

Will you chip in $25 today to help us reach our goal before tomorrow’s deadline?

Thank you,

Iowa Democrats
