Education Strong public schools are essential for Iowa’s future. Housing As your representative, I pledge to fight against Eminent Domain for Private Gain. Wages / Job Benefits The misclassification of workers threatens Iowa’s economy, its businesses and its workers - which are the most important resource we have. Iowa employers must report wages to Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) Operations Division and pay unemployment insurance (UI) tax on wages paid to employees as required. Iowa employers must generally withhold State and Federal income taxes, as well as withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes. Wages / Job Benefits We need to ensure the early childhood workforce are fairly compensated so Iowa's children have consistent and qualified caregivers. This may require a public / private partnership. Wages / Job Benefits I pledge to work to raise Iowa’s minimum wage to a living wage.
