Friend,
One of my top priorities in Congress is to help families in Iowa and across the country. I believe strong families are the foundation of a strong country, and I know there is so much more we can do to make it easier to raise a family.
Any mom will tell you: pregnancy and raising kids is beautiful, but it’s demanding physically, emotionally, and financially. Between doctor’s appointments, child care bills, extracurriculars, putting food on the table, and trying to keep life on track for your entire family, moms today juggle more than ever. And far too often, moms are expected to figure it out alone.
That’s why I’m working to pass several pro-family bills that provide moms real support and help when it matters most:
Pregnant Students’ Rights Act
This bill would ensure young women on campus know their rights and available resources, from flexible class schedules and excused absences to child care assistance, so they never feel pushed out of school or told abortion is their only option.
Midwives for MOMS Act
I worked across the aisle to introduce this bipartisan legislation, which would expand midwife training in rural and underserved communities to close gaps in maternal care. More trained providers mean healthier pregnancies, healthier babies, and stronger families.
