Friend, We are in the business of customer service. Our team is dedicated to helping Iowans solve problems they have with the federal government. This year, we’ve closed over 2,500 constituent cases by helping people get back money they are owed by the IRS, collecting missing Social Security and veterans’ benefits, and expediting passport cases to help people reunite with their families. I’m proud of the problems we’ve been able to solve for Iowans, so if you’ve run into a dead end or have any questions regarding federal agencies, please make sure you reach out to our team. For example, we’ve helped veterans schedule appointments at the local VA and recover lost VA benefits. When a constituent had her identity stolen, the IRS sent her a massive bill and she was unable to receive her Social Security payments. After we advocated on her behalf, the IRS withdrew their bill and she received the Social Security benefits she was owed. These are just a few ways our team has helped Iowans who felt like they had nowhere else to turn and were failed by the federal bureaucracy. If you're getting a dial-tone when trying to reach someone, don't know who to talk to about problem, or have any issue with a federal agency, we are here to answer your questions. There is no ask too small or challenge too big – we are here to serve, and we will leave no stone unturned to help. Please visit or reach out to any of my district offices in Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, and Waterloo with any questions or to learn more about how we can serve you and your families.

I am proud to support the Agricultural Foreign Investment Transparency Act, legislation to strengthen our oversight of their malicious activity and help block China from buying another acre of U.S. farmland. We must take the threat posed by Communist China head on -- there is no time to waste. I'll continue working to hold Communist China accountable and to protect our national security. Bipartisan VA Same Day Scheduling Act We often hear from veterans who struggle to make appointments at the local VA. I’m cosponsoring the VA Same Day Scheduling Act, bipartisan legislation that will make it easier for veterans to schedule appointments at the VA and receive care in a timely manner. I will continue working across the aisle to ensure our veterans can receive the care they have earned. Poll: Children’s Cold Medicine Shortage I’ve heard from parents who are worried about the current shortage of children’s medications – from cold medicine to amoxicillin. Understandably, parents are increasingly concerned by these shortages with RSV and flu cases on the rise. This is on top of the ongoing baby formula shortage. Parents should have peace of mind that if they’re going to the store for basic medications or baby formula for their kids, they’re going to find it. I’m monitoring this situation closely, and your perspective and input will be invaluable to me as I look at potential solutions. Please take my poll below! Have you noticed low stock of children’s medications or baby formula at your local store? Yes No Thank You, Servicemembers! Our brave troops are giving up the holidays with their families so that we can celebrate safely with ours. I recently joined the American Red Cross to send messages of support and encouragement to our service members overseas! Serving Iowans Alex and Delia just completed their internships with our team – they both did a phenomenal job serving Iowans. I love seeing young women who are so passionate about serving others and learning about how they can make a difference by working on meaningful policy!
