<h2>What matters to you?</h2>

Long Form

<p>I'm a lifelong Iowan, attorney, small business owner, mother, and advocate who got tired of saying, "Someone should do something," and decided to step up and <em>be</em> that someone. For too long, politicians have focused on pet projects while everyday Iowans face real challenges. I'm ready to put PEOPLE first! Aren't you ready for that, too?</p>
