President Trump’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” is a major win for our community banks. It includes provisions from my bill — the #ACRE Act — to help community banks offer loans to farmers and ag businesses at lower rates. We’re investing in Rural America and Iowa agriculture!

“This rule harms banks, harms small businesses and harms families.” Thanks to @RepFeenstra for explaining how @CFPB’s Section 1071 rule will impact communities across rural America and for helping lead the fight in Congress to roll it back.

President Biden has approved federal disaster aid for 4 counties, including Adair County (where Greenfield is located), for Tuesday’s storm damage. Gov. Reynolds made the request yesterday.

As always, it was great to have @iowabankers in my office. We had the opportunity to discuss my ACRE Act, which would give our community banks and main street lenders much-needed flexibility to offer agricultural and home loans at affordable rates for #IA04 families and farmers.

New - @MorningConsult survey conducted on behalf of ABA finds 9 in 10 Americans with a bank account say they are “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with their primary bank, and 96% rate their bank’s customer service as “excellent,” “very good” or “good." aba.social/48ZZf0q

“It’s clear credit unions no longer serve the underserved, and their original business model is not viable. They must act like banks to survive. It’s time to tax them as such.” Smart piece from @TaxFoundation’s @scottahodge.

Congratulations to Tatum Shepherd of Ridge View High School, who was awarded the IBA's Student Athlete Achievement Award in girls wrestling! Special thanks to Cara Godfredsen of Citizens First National Bank for presenting the award!

Credit unions’ privileged status as tax-exempt nonprofit organizations may have filled a market need during the Great Depression, but 90 years later, there is no longer a justification to subsidize these institutions. The latest from @scottahodge: hubs.ly/Q02j7R9K0

Spoke to a great group at @CLBankAndTrust this evening to provide an update on the #IowaAg economy, market development, water quality progress and more! @iowabankers are an asset to our ag and rural communities, providing needed capital and economic development opportunities
