Don’t Mess with the New WOTUS Rule

When the Obama-Biden administration attempted to regulate nearly 97% of the land in Iowa with their Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, I fought back and stood up for the livelihoods of hardworking Americans. We won that fight, and a new, more flexible WOTUS rule was put in place. 

Now, the Biden Administration is working at a rapid pace to undo this work.

As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Environment and Public Works Committee, I’m calling on my colleagues to join me in standing with our workers, farmers, manufacturers, and businesses by upholding the Trump Administration’s WOTUS rule.

Everyone should agree that clean water should be a national priority. But I can’t stand by and allow for another Washington power grab that will make it harder for Iowans to farm, ranch, and build. 

As the daughter of a farmer, and an unwavering advocate for Iowa’s agriculture community, I will never stop fighting to defend the livelihoods of those who are feeding and fueling our world.
