Waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington are out of control, and hardworking Iowans are paying the price. I will continue tackling government corruption and working to make sure the government is accountable to the people it serves. iowafieldreport.com/congress/congr…






Today, I convened my third Rural Healthcare Roundtable, bringing together 13 hospitals in Washington County to discuss the first-of-its-kind $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program that we delivered in the Working Families Tax Cuts. Direct input from hospitals is critical to making sure this investment strengthens rural hospitals, expands access, and delivers better care across Iowa.



The DHS shutdown is entirely of Democrats’ making. The House has passed a bipartisan funding bill TWICE, but Senate Democrats keep blocking it, blocking funding for TSA, Air Traffic Control, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, putting our national security at risk. Enough political theater. Fund DHS.

☀️🌞This Sunshine Week, I’m putting the spotlight on wasteful government spending! I’m grateful for folks like @WhiteCoatWaste, @open_the_books, and @USGAO, who are dedicated to shining the light on how every single cent of taxpayer dollars is spent. Together at next week’s @SmallBizCmteGOP hearing, we will hold the government accountable to make all government expenditures public. washingtonreporter.news/exclusive-sen-…

For our police officers, corrections officers, firefighters, EMTs, and nurses, working overtime is part of the job. When shifts run long and emergencies strike, they step up without hesitation. They shouldn’t be punished for that. That’s why I fought to pass No Tax on Overtime in the Working Families Tax Cuts, so the men and women who protect our communities can keep more of what they earn.
