Dear John,
When Iowans first elected me to the United States Senate, I made a commitment to keep in touch. One way I do that is meeting with Iowans in every county, every year.
From Dubuque to Sioux City, I took advantage of the congressional work period in August to meet with Iowans across the state. For the 39th year in a row, I completed my annual pilgrimage to each of Iowa's 99 counties to hear directly from you. Already, I look forward to starting my 40th consecutive year of county meetings in January.While I was home in August, the Democratic presidential candidates swarming across Iowa magnify just what's at stake. Your support is more important than ever. We cannot take our strong economy, lower taxes and Republican principles for limited government and free enterprise for granted. That's why I’m working alongside grassroots activists like you to keep the Republican majority in the Iowa statehouse and to help re-elect Senator Joni Ernst and President Donald Trump in 2020.
In the months ahead, Congress has a full plate of judicial nominations, spending bills and policy legislation. This fall, I'll continue advancing two top priorities Iowans brought up at nearly every county meeting.
✅ Health care and prescription drug prices
✅ United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) and trade
As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, I’m working to get bipartisan drug pricing legislation and the USMCA across the finish line.
I’m also working to make sure the federal government keeps its commitments to the American people. That includes ensuring the EPA implements biofuels policy according to federal law and the Army Corps of Engineers keeps its word to flooded communities in Iowa.
