Weekly Wrap Up
Thanksgiving Message
Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m so thankful for my family, my wonderful husband Matt and my boys Max and Jax. I’m so blessed to be their mom and to be able to spend tomorrow with them and cook up some of their Thanksgiving favorites!

I’m grateful to live in the best country in the world and to call Iowa home.

I am also humbled and thankful for the opportunity to serve you and your families and for the chance to work to make your life better.

I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and your favorite foods.

Read on for highlights from my week traveling the district meeting with Iowans!

Best,
All Over Iowa's First Congressional District
I volunteered at the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) food pantry. Food pantries across our communities need your help to ensure no one goes hungry this holiday season, and HACAP does remarkable work to fight food insecurity in our communities.

Help ensure your neighbors don’t go hungry this holiday season—learn more about how you can help HERE.
I loved catching up with the Cedar Rapids Downtown Rotary Club this week. It was great to answer questions and provide an update on my work in Congress.
It was great to tour Northeast Iowa Community College on Monday and learn more about their health care programs. I am grateful for the strong community partners that offer frontline, skills-based education training for students.
Yesterday, I started my day off at Little Knights Learning Center in Dysart. We talked about ways we can work together to ensure working families have access to affordable, quality child care. It was also great to meet some of the children and hear about their favorite Thanksgiving foods!
It was inspiring to learn more about the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown. Their dedicated and service-oriented team do incredible work to ensure veterans (and their spouses) have a comfortable place to call home, and receive the care they deserve.
I also visited Davis Elementary to learn more about LINK Grinnell, a program that supports kids outside of school in Poweshiek County. Their mentorship, after school, and summer programs are amazing opportunities they provide for kids in the community.
I also stopped at Gingerich Farms, near Parnell in Iowa County. I learned so much by touring their hog operation and seeing how they incorporate sophisticated technology to care for their animals. I will continue to advocate for Iowa’s pork producers in Congress!
