Economy PDF Print E-mail

For too long, Washington has put the special interests ahead of Iowa's middle class families.  I ran for Congress so I could finally start changing the way we do business. I've voted to raise the minimum wage, to ensure equal pay for men and women in the workplace and to makes it easier for families to afford college. I am working hard to enact common sense policies that put working people before big corporations.

Last year, I voted for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1) to save America from the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. Read more about how Recovery Act funds are helping Iowa businesses and middle class workers.
