One death from substance use disorder is one too many.

Thank you, Representative Van Orden. I thought about removing your time because I take offense as a former enlisted who became an officer.

I congratulate the University of Iowa women's basketball team and Coach Bluder on making it to the Final Four. Good luck and go Hawks. Recognizing Vietnam War Veterans Day

33 years ago today, I was blessed with the most incredible of gifts, with the birth of our daughter, Taylor. Happy birthday, Taylor. You are a blessing to both your father and me. ____________________

Today is Vietnam War Veterans Day. As a Vietnam-era veteran and having a brother who served in Vietnam, I wish to recognize and acknowledge this day and the honorable service of those who served in Vietnam. Wishing My Daughter a Happy…

Polluters over people act. They would rather put people stopping traffic to prevent you from getting to work and people throwing mashed potatoes at art than they would the American people. I could not disagree with my colleagues more. Oil…

Just in Scott County alone, Representative Miller-Meeks' lead shrank from election night by about 30 to 40 votes during the recount.

the Iowa Second race, where now Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by 6 votes out of approximately 390,000 cast, truly shows how important the Election Observer Program can be.

I would state that their suppression and obfuscation has led to the exact mistrust and distrust and conspiracy theories that they may have tried to avoid.

Yesterday, February 26, The Wall Street Journal released another article about the origins of COVID-19. This time, the Department of Energy has acknowledged that most likely this was a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. I…
