A 65% Proposal for Schools

Currently, Iowa is ranked 38th in direct classroom spending. By holding administrators accountable and making them allocate just 5.5 cents more of each dollar spent, an additional $199,796,300 would be channeled directly into the classroom instead of the bureaucracy without a tax increase!

Tax Reform

• Lowering property taxes by passing a meaningful property tax initiative.

• Promoting higher paying jobs through tax reform.

• Lowering taxes on small business.

Government Accountability

We must play by the rules, but lately, we have seen our government mismanage our funds. The CIETC and Workforce Development scandal unfolding here in Polk County is devastating. As our young professionals are leaving Iowa for better job opportunities, we watch those in charge of job training and development put the money into their own pockets instead of helping Iowans who need job security and fair wages. Allocated funds for job training and support must always be protected and go towards aiding and retaining the talented here in Iowa with better paying jobs! Our State's number one export should never be our young professionals. We must hold government officials involved accountable for their poor management and greedy decisions.
