Her campaign says she would make life more affordable for Iowa families.
“Making life more affordable—for all of us”
What the record shows ·
She is one of sixteen Senate sponsors of Senate File 2239 (2026), one of fifteen of Senate File 109 (2025) and one of sixteen of the same bill in the 90th General Assembly (Senate File 95, 2023), each creating a paid, job-protected family and medical leave insurance program. Each was introduced, referred to the Workforce Committee and assigned a subcommittee, with no further action.
Limit: Sponsorship in the minority caucus is an official action in the direction the platform calls for; none of these bills reached a committee vote, and each carries fourteen or fifteen other sponsors. The check reads the sponsor lines and histories the Legislature publishes; floor amendments, committee votes she cast and advocacy outside the bill list would not appear.
