An All-American Saturday: knocking doors for democracy and announcing Ankeny Miracle League baseball! Plus a hot dog! It doesn't get much better than this!

248 years of celebrating, challenging, and living the ideals of what it means to be an American. Where there is hope and a commitment to community, there is a brighter future for all.
Happy Independence Day! Be safe & enjoy the holiday! 🇺🇲

Something I never expect: being able to wear jeans and long sleeves while knocking doors in July! The perfect weather tonight was matched only by all the thoughtful conversations. #HD42 #AlwaysBeBuildingCommunity

From emceeing the pet parade at Ankeny Pride to taking in the performances at Ankeny Community Network's Juneteenth Celebration, it was an amazing weekend to be IN COMMUNITY with friends and neighbors. ❤️

Is there a better way to start the day than announcing the first two Ankeny Miracle League games? I don't think so! Welcome back to baseball season! These kids are the absolute best! ❤️

I loved starting my day with students at @AnkenyParkview for their first Career Speaker Day! There are so many ways to get involved in government & public service. One of my main messages: we have a government of, by, and for the people. It's ALL of us.

The best part of not having debate today is being able to get back to an Ankeny Kiwanis Club meeting! Special shout-out to fellow club member Sharlyn for giving all of us a pop up encouragement card! ❤️

Hop Into Uptown is the perfect time to get a few last minute Easter treats for my kids from Uptown Confections & Curiosities!

Another highlight of my day: catching up with Anna Gray with @INHF, who also happens to be my constituent in #HD42! Thanks for all you do to advocate for our natural resources and outdoor recreation, Anna! #ialegis #AlwaysBeBuildingCommunity #BeAPartner

One of my predecessors in this job, Kevin Koester, is a great advocate for volunteerism. He was at the Capitol today as a Commissioner for Volunteer Iowa. I always appreciate the chance to run ideas by him & catch up on good things happening in Ankeny. #AlwaysBeBuildingCommunity

I've received about 1000 emails alone on the Governor's AEA bill. This matters for every single one of our kids and schools.

Child care continues to be one the biggest issues we need to address in the Legislature. Check out a clip from @IowaPublicRadio's Here First podcast which includes some of my comments from the @IowaWomensFdn summit last week! ⬇️

Live theater here in Ankeny is one of my favorite things about #HD42! Arts & culture experiences are a huge part of what makes a community thrive. We loved seeing "A Gift for Rebecca" at Ankeny Community Theatre last night!

Had a fantastic time with friends celebrating Iowa's history & culture at the Celebrate Iowa Gala last night! This is one of my favorite events every year to support the @IowaMuseum and it was cool to see the new Civics In Action exhibit!
