Third District’s Message to Vice President Pence, Governor Reynolds, and Congressman David Young on Friday Will Be Their Votes for Democrats Up and Down the Ticket Who Will Fight for Access to Quality and Affordable Health Care, Economic Opportunities for All

Press Conference and March to the Polls with Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price and State Auditor Candidate Rob Sand to Be Held at 10:30 AM in Downtown Des Moines.

Aided by Congressman David Young and Governor Kim Reynolds, Vice President Mike Pence and the Trump Administration have run roughshod over working families in Iowa. Their budget busting tax scam added $1.9 trillion to the deficit, and is ripping money away from our schools and threatening Iowans’ hard earned Social Security benefits. All while nearly two-thirds of Americans say they have not seen any increase in their take-home pay.

Simultaneously, the Republicans’ politically-motivated attacks on the Affordable Care Act weakened protections for Iowans with pre-existing conditions and did nothing to fix the real problems like the rising cost of prescription drug prices and junk insurance plans. Iowans are also dealing with Governor Reynolds disastrous privatization of Medicaid experiment which has denied or reduced services for over 40,000 Iowans and continues to cost taxpayers far more than was promised.

Joined by Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price and State Auditor Candidate Rob Sand, Iowans from the Third District will gather at 10:30 AM on Friday ahead of Vice President Pence’s drop in visit to send a clear message: if you don’t fight for us, we won’t vote for you.

Members of the press interested in attending should RSVP to Tess Seger at tseger@iowademocrats.org.
