My story, it’s the Iowa story. I know that it can be tough to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck. My husband and I used to hand off the kids in the driveway, and one of us would go to work, the other watch the kids. While now my job is different, my story... it's the Iowa story. That’s why I’m doing this—for the working moms and dads, students and little girls with big dreams. I’m doing this for Iowa and I hope you’ll join me. but now I know how important it is to lower taxes and create better paying jobs. I’m committed to unleashing opportunity for all Iowans.

Long before I was governor, I was pouring coffee and waiting tables. I am Governor for every parent who tucks their kids in to bed before leaving for work, and for all the waitresses and grocery checkers, and for every small town girl with big world dreams. I know that hard work pays off. I’m taking a stand so that hard working Iowans across the state get to keep what they’ve earned.
