Janet Petersen
Iowa State Senate - District 18
Top Issues
Legislation
As a young girl, Janet saw first-hand how life can change in an instant when her dad died of melanoma. Fortunately for Janet and her sister Barb, their mom had an education to fall back on which prevented them from slipping into poverty. That is one of the reasons Janet is a strong supporter of public education and equal pay for equal work.
