A big thank you to @RepMMM — an original Multi Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Champion—helping lead the fight for earlier cancer detection and better outcomes. #ACSCAN #Iowa #Cancer #MCED
Honored to receive the 2026 Cancer Patient Champion Award from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Army of Pink, and Prevent Blindness Iowa today. The Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Act is one of the most important bills I have fought for, because catching cancer early saves lives. Rising rates in Iowa remind us this fight is far from over, and I am not stopping.🎗️🇺🇸

We’re disappointed by yesterday's vote to restrict access to the HPV vaccine—a safe, effective, lifesaving tool that prevents cancer. In a state facing a cancer crisis, this is the wrong direction. The bill now goes to the governor. #ACSCAN #Iowa #Cancer

✅ Big news: The House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved funding for pediatric cancer research at @uihealthcare—creating stable, ongoing support for lifesaving work. Next stop: House floor vote! #ACSCAN #Iowa #HawkeyeWave
