Tracy's Top Issues
"I won't be sucked into the culture wars going on in Des Moines. I will continue to build relationships, work across the aisle, and represent the needs of the constituents of House District 79. People want to see less politics and more action. Policy that helps lower costs, provides fully funded public schools and better education opportunities from early ed all the way to higher ed. They want to see concerns like Iowa's high cancer rates addressed and having access to affordable, accessible and equitable healthcare. I want Iowans to thrive, not just survive." - Tracy
AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE & EQUITABLE HEALTH CARE
The privatization of Medicaid and the underfunding of mental health has been detrimental to our state. Add in the high cancer rates in Iowa, the lack of mental health resources and the amount of healthcare providers and facilities closing or leaving the state...many Iowans are struggling when it comes to being able to fulfil their healthcare needs. It is time we make sure that every Iowan has access to affordable, accessible and equitable health care in every corner of our state.
LEADING SCHOOLS
Iowa used to be top in the nation in education, but we've fallen behind in recent years. Education not only prepares our children for the next step in life but ensures that all kids in our state have an equal chance for success. We must make sure that education at all levels, cradle to career, is fully funded so hardworking Iowa families can give their kids an excellent education and we have a workforce that stays in our state.
GREAT JOBS, BETTER BENEFITS
While politicians in Des Moines continue to give tax breaks to out-of-state corporations, I look around our state now and see a lack of opportunity for hardworking Iowa families to make ends meet. As a state, we should be investing in small businesses and job creation to make sure that the future generation here has the same ability for opportunity that we had growing up.
