🚨BREAKING: the Court just upheld that only American citizens can vote in Iowa elections. I was glad to lead the fight defending our election integrity laws. This victory guarantees all Iowans that their votes will count & not be canceled out by illegal votes.

When we fight the opioid crisis in Iowa, we help families and save lives. Proud to join the Jones County Sheriff Department as I announced a new grant from the Opioid Settlement funds that will allow them to hire more support for mental health and substance abuse crisis calls.

OpenAI is hurting kids, lying to Iowans, and breaking the law. We’re fighting back to stop them. Proud to be joined by @KSAGOffice, @NEAttorneyGen, and @WestVirginiaAG as we announce lawsuits against OpenAI and hold them accountable.

Thank you to @POTUS and @epaleezeldin for ensuring that Iowa drivers have access to all of the clean and cheaper ethanol gas that our farmers can grow!

Today marks three years since the barbaric and deadliest attack on the Jewish community in since the Holocaust. Over 1,200 innocent men, women and children were murdered by Hamas, and 251 were taken hostage. As we remember and mourn today, we also reaffirm our commitment to standing with Israel and the Jewish people.

China has no business spying on Iowans. Today, my office announced the first of several lawsuits against Chinese-backed companies selling digital products to Iowans. Holding them accountable and protecting our privacy.

Loved spending the time with Secretary Mike Naig, Rep. Megan Jones, and Sheriff Chris Raveling at the Clay County Fair! Agriculture is the backbone of our state, and I’m grateful for the chance to hear directly from Iowa farmers about how we can better support them.
