On Energy & Oil: Take urgent action to address man-made climate change

We need to take urgent climate action to address man-made climate change. We must take urgent climate action that lowers our carbon footprint and invests in renewable energy in a way that creates good-paying jobs for Iowans. When it comes to renewable energy, Iowa has already been a leader, as more than 40% of our electricity comes from wind, creating an industry that directly employs around 10,000 Iowans.

On Health Care: Expand ACA, include public option

We need to do more to expand access to quality, affordable health care. I support strengthening the Affordable Care Act with a public option and investing in telehealth. We also need to stop the attacks on Medicaid expansion, which has been a lifeline for our rural health care hospitals and providers.

On Jobs: Investment in ag research will improve crops and soils

I support partnering with our public universities and making investments in science, research and technology related to agriculture.

I support encouraging regenerative agriculture practices like incentivizing cover crops and reducing tillage.

On Environment: Encourage regenerative agriculture practices

I believe we need to listen to scientists and take urgent climate action to address man-made climate change. I believe we must take urgent climate action that lowers our carbon footprint and invests in renewable energy in a way that creates good-paying jobs for Iowans. When it comes to renewable energy, Iowa has already been a leader, as more than 40% of our electricity comes from wind, creating an industry that directly employs around 10,000 Iowans. And for farmers who choose to participate, I support encouraging regenerative agriculture practices like incentivizing cover crops and reducing tillage.
