Today, I lent a hand at Fareway in Clive to bag groceries and talk with real Iowa families. Every customer shared their concerns about the high cost of groceries, gas, and more. The Biden-Harris Administration’s economic policies have cost Iowa families more than $26,000 in the past two years.
In Congress, I’m fighting back against runaway spending to make life a little easier for Iowans:
- Cutting back wasteful federal spending by leading a balanced budget amendment
- Supporting good paying jobs by investing in training programs and apprenticeships
- Combatting inflation by voting for additional checks and balances on government spending
Bottom Line: I’ll keep fighting to lower costs for Iowa families.
