Campaign positions
His campaign says out-of-control government spending drove inflation that hit every Iowa family's budget, that he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy, and that the tax-and-spend policies behind record cost levels must stop.
Her campaign says she would crack down on corporate price gouging, end a tariff policy she says raises prices on ordinary families, expand the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit, and eliminate junk fees and surprise medical bills. On the economy she says she would invest in apprenticeships, vocational schools, community colleges and job training, build rural broadband, and pursue companies that commit wage theft.
Evidence timeline
official action
Her campaign says she would make life more affordable for Iowa families. 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.
official action
His campaign says he passed legislation to rein in government bureaucracy. Two of his bills on federal reporting burdens passed the House: the Protect Small Business and Prevent Illicit Financial Activity Act (H.R. 5119) on December 12, 2023, and the Protect Small Businesses from Excessive Paperwork Act (H.R. 736) on February 10, 2025. Both were received in the Senate; neither became law. Six more of his measures passed the House on other subjects, two of them resolutions. Limit: House passage is not enactment: neither bill became law, and the card tests only the narrow claim that he passed legislation to rein in paperwork, not the plank's wider sentence about spending, inflation and the economy, which names no measure to check.
