Iowa is the #1 state for fiscal responsibility for a reason — we believe in saving, investing, and building something that lasts for the next generation.
The problem: Over the past several years, too many Iowa parents have stretched every paycheck just to cover the basics — groceries, gas, rent, and child care. When you’re focused on making ends meet, it’s tough to set aside money for your child’s future.
What’s new: That’s why I fought to deliver the largest pro-family, pro-worker tax cut in American history — expanding the standard deduction, strengthening the Child Tax Credit, and creating Trump Accounts to help every newborn start building wealth from day one.
But what is a Trump Account? Here’s how it works for an Iowa family:
👶 If your baby is born between 2025–2028, $1,000 is automatically invested on their behalf in a broad American index fund built for long-term growth.
📈 Families can contribute up to $5,000 per year, and employers up to $2,500 tax-free — letting that investment grow over time.
💵 Even contributing just $250 per year is projected to grow the average account to roughly $20,000 by age 18.
🚀 With consistent maximum contributions, projections show accounts could exceed $300,000 by adulthood.
By age 18, those funds are available to help pay for higher education or career training, starting a small business, or making a down payment on a first home. Learn how to sign up by clicking here or below: ⬇️
Why it matters: When kids grow up knowing they have an investment account in their name, they have skin in the game. Starting early means years of compounded growth — and a generation that sees itself not just as workers, but as investors and builders of their own future.
Bottom Line: Trump Accounts put long-term opportunity — and ownership — back in the hands of Iowa families. We’ll keep fighting to ensure the next generation starts stronger, dreams bigger, and has every tool to build the American Dream.
