Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports reversing or ending tax cuts for billionaires and holding corporations accountable while targeting any tax relief to middle- and lower-income families; prioritizes preserving Social Security and Medicaid and investing in affordable housing, childcare, and other programs that help working families. Opposes broad elimination of the state income tax and emphasizes addressing corporate price-gouging and corruption that benefits wealthy interests.
Healthcare
Supports defending and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, keeping rural hospitals open, and lowering health care costs for families; backs measures to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable and expand access to reproductive and other health services. Prioritizes protecting Medicaid funding and Medicare benefits rather than pursuing single-payer Medicare-for-All.

Immigration & Border
Supports simplifying legal pathways and protecting due process while acknowledging enforcement concerns; opposes state-level immigration criminalization and seeks common-sense reforms that balance community safety with opportunities for people on paths to citizenship.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting reproductive freedom and keeping government out of doctors’ offices; has led Iowa House Democrats in proposing a constitutional amendment to guarantee abortion and reproductive healthcare rights (including abortion up to fetal viability) and other measures to expand access to contraception and postpartum care.
Climate & Energy
Supports renewable fuels and has signaled climate change is an important issue for constituents; favors policies that support Iowa’s renewable fuels industry while focusing on practical economic issues for working Iowans. Positions emphasize clean-energy economic benefits rather than advocating for explicit Green New Deal–style phase-outs of fossil fuels.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded background checks and other “common-sense” gun safety measures while opposing proposals to allow more guns on school property and efforts to block local gun-safety ordinances.
