An 86-year-old woman was evicted in Dubuque after falling $1,900 behind in rent.
Rent across America is almost 34% higher than before the pandemic.

Steve Scalise came to #NY22 to spew anti-immigrant vitriol and stump for Brandon Williams. They forgot to share about Republican plans to cut Medicare & Medicaid and to privatize Medicare thru Medicare Advantage plans that are creating the long-term solvency problem. So I did.

This is not leadership from Reps Hinson, Miller-Meeks, and Nunn, it's not helping the recovery efforts, and it's not reflective of Iowa values. It's shameful, immature, and disgusting.
