Property Tax Relief for Iowans summary- click here
Thank you, House District 22! I am deeply grateful for your steadfast support and partnership. Together, we have worked to deliver meaningful, principled policy governance for Iowa and to advance the values that make our communities strong.
When I campaigned for office, I promised to defend parental rights and expand educational choice so every child can learn in an environment that fits their needs. I committed to prioritizing the next generation and standing firmly for medical freedom, protecting every family’s ability to make informed decisions about their own health care. This session, we delivered meaningful solutions in each of these areas—turning those commitments into real, measurable results for Iowa families.
A major highlight of the session included providing property tax relief for Iowans. This has been discussed for several years, and a package was delivered for the 2026 session that will save Iowans an estimated more than $4.2 billion over the next 6 years.
I also worked to advance a broad agenda centered on constitutional protections, parental rights, child safety, medical freedom, education reform, public safety, and responsible governance.

An amazing opportunity to share my story aboard the USS Midway in San Diego, California — all while honoring the anniversary of D‑Day and commemorating 250 years of American freedom. I was honored by the chance to speak — to encourage others to lean in, work hard, and use their gifts for something bigger than themselves. Service isn’t glamorous, but it is meaningful, and it shapes the future in ways we don’t always see right away.

2026 Legislative Session Coverage:
Animal Torture Legislation Passed!
The Iowa Legislature has taken a firm, necessary, and long‑overdue stand against the torture of animals in our state. HF 2348 is not partisan. It is simply the right thing to do. Elevating the punishment for extreme animal torture to a felony on the first offense is a commonsense step that reflects our values as Iowans. When someone intentionally commits the most severe acts of cruelty, the law should respond with seriousness. This bill makes sure it does.
Iowans love their pets. We raise them, we train them, we work alongside them, and we welcome them into our families. Our animals give us loyalty, companionship, service, comfort, and therapy. They enrich our lives and they deserve our protection. I am proud to have helped get this bill across the finish line. Read more

Reforming Governor's Emergency Powers
The bill reins in the Governor and unelected officials during emergencies to strengthen constitutional protections. It limits the ability to suspend laws, requires legislative approval for extended emergencies, protects core rights like worship, assembly, and work, prevents emergency orders from targeting specific groups or businesses, and prohibits mandates for tests, vaccines, or medical treatments--only recommendations.
This is a constitutional safeguard that restores separation of powers, protects individual liberties, and ensures transparency and accountability in future emergencies.
