For nearly 15 years, Republicans have controlled the legislature and Governor's office in Iowa; and what do we have to show for it?

​

• Two-thirds of our counties are losing their populations and quality of life

• Public schools are closing and teachers are under attack

• Public dollars are funding private schools

• Women's reproductive and health care rights are under attack

• LGBTQ+ neighbors and family members are losing rights and liberties

• Workers' rights are being stripped away 

• Hospitals across the state are closing and losing vital services

• Family farms continue to be run out of business by agriculture conglomerates 

• Natural resources are being recklessly polluted

• Out of town mega-companies are given huge tax breaks

• Gun owner rights are expanding while gun safety laws are being eliminated

​

How much more will Iowans allow? We continue our work to bring new leadership; at the statehouse, at the local city halls, on our school board, and in our communities. 

​

The change Iowa needs will happen as more of us get involved. That's why we invite you to join the West Des Moines Democrats.
