Democratic State Rep Sharon Steckman offering amendment that strikes everything in the bill except the section creating a task force. "There is no reason for the rest of the bill." After task force spends this year studying AEAs, #ialegis can come back next year and act.

Siegrist acknowledged the bill "gives me some heartburn in some areas" but he does support it. The task force will help state figure out how to improve special education in Iowa. "Nothing changes with special education" under this bill, he claims.

Here's your reminder that Ms. Hinson and her husband took out a PPP loan and it was cancelled. She isn't paying it back. Apparently you pay back a loan unless you are Ms. Hinson. Her fake outrage would be more interesting if she wasn't a hypocrite.

The governor is doubling down on her proposal to gut the Area Education Agencies, hoping an ad campaign will turn R lawmakers away from their constituents and get them back under her thumb. Here’s why so many Iowans are speaking out against dismantling the AEAs:

🧵Kim Reynolds keeps repeating the claim that Iowa’s students with IEPs ranked 30th or worse in 9 of 12 national assessments. I’ve been in education for 30 years and I wasn’t aware of 12 national assessments being administered, anywhere, ever. Here are some answers:
Gov. Reynolds proposes a 2.5% increase in SSA for public schools while new state voucher plan for private schools comes in $20 million over expected costs. Somethings wrong with this picture. #vouchers

Wish my *Republican* colleagues would focus on working with us to combat cancer, deal with the water shortages and so much more that would actually benefit Iowans.
I really wish Iowa legislators had the same energy they have for stripping trans rights for figuring out why Iowa is #2 in the nation in cancer rates, why are there water shortages in Clear Lake and Osceola, why are our bridges are ranked last in the US…
Don’t underestimate the power of grassroots advocacy. It also helps when the bills are plain dumb.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the team and is ready to flip the Iowa Third! Together we’re going to win this district and fight for Iowa. Thank you.
For years, @lanon_baccam has been a great friend + mentor. Like me, he’s the son of immigrants. He’s a veteran, a dedicated public servant, and a son of rural Iowa. I’m thrilled to support him in his run for congress in #IA03 to beat anti-abortion extremist Zach Nunn!
