From the barista pouring your morning coffee to the server working a double at your local diner — Iowa’s service workers are the backbone of our Main Streets.
Zoom out:
➡️ More than 17 million Americans work in the service and hospitality industries
➡️ That includes nearly 150,000 Iowans working at restaurants, salons, coffee shops, and small businesses
For these workers, tips aren’t a bonus — they’re essential. But for too long, Washington has had its hand in Iowa’s tip jars.
That changes with the Big Beautiful Bill.
Watch Iowa waitress Erika Pirtle explain why No Tax on Tips is a game-changer for service workers across the state ⬇️
Erika said it best: It’s about time Washington started respecting hard work. That’s exactly what we’re doing — by delivering pro-worker, pro-Iowa tax relief that helps Iowans keep more of what they earn.
