The daughter of two Air Force veterans who was raised half her life by a single mom working paycheck to paycheck, Jennifer got into public service to be the fighter her mom needed.

​

Her mom worked night shifts as a nurse to keep a roof over their head. When Jennifer became a mom, she saw that her kids’ teachers weren’t only bringing paper and pencils in for their students but also food and winter coats. Jennifer first ran for the Iowa House because saw that Iowans needed better and now she’s running for Congress for the same reason.

​

To win back working Iowans, Jennifer believes we need to focus on three things:

​

• Save Iowans’ Healthcare: Defend Medicare and Medicaid for our most vulnerable neighbors, keep rural hospitals open, and repeal the Big Bad Bill that’s driving up insurance premiums.

​

• Clean Up Corruption: Ban insider trading in Congress, take on corporate price gouging, and overturn Citizens United so new leaders can hold Big Pharma accountable and end tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of working Iowans.

​

• Real Patriotism: Stand up for veterans’ care, raise the minimum wage, safeguard healthcare, and fight corruption - even if it means standing up to your own party. That’s true love of country.​

​

In Congress, she’ll know how to throw a punch and fight for what working Iowans need - because that’s how you get things done.
