What I've found is that every time you have that uncertainty, if you face it, walk through it, you grow as an individual and gain confidence.

I believe that the definition of marriage is between one man and one woman from a religious aspect. That is my belief. I have stated that. I always have believed that.

As we continue to learn how to live with COVID-19 until a vaccine is available, we'll also learn how to carefully balance not only the health of Iowans but the health of our economy.

Obamacare is unaffordable, unworkable and unsustainable.

Long-term, Congress needs to replace Obamacare with market-driven health reform that's affordable for everyday Iowans and empowers consumers.

Welfare reform passed in the 90s worked because states were given maximum authority along with adequate funding. This model can work for the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

People can't work and have the quality of life they deserve if they aren't healthy.

The Invest in Iowa Act is a bold vision for Iowa that lowers the overall tax burden on Iowans, and invests significantly in mental health and water quality.

We have no interest in raising taxes.

When you show no willingness to compromise, then nothing ever happens.

Compromise is part of how we get things done.

Every day, Iowans step up and make a difference together through volunteerism.

Connected communities are fundamental to all aspects of growth and prosperity, and essential to keep our young people and attract others to rural Iowa.

Iowa is speckled with vibrant communities like Wilton, each with its own character and its own story to tell.

Positive thoughts create a positive life!

Let me say that I would never talk about anyone's child in a negative way.

I like to do squats because I want my butt to be bigger.

Prior to getting pregnant with KJ, I was never in sweats, but anyone who's ever been pregnant can relate to me when I say 'comfort is key.'
