Get StartedWhere Iowa has genuinely slipped is math and early reading — and the state's own Department of Education has said Iowa needs evidence-based support in math. Mark would fund it. He will fight to fund public schools first, because that's the promise we all made to each other. Learn more
Mark believes Iowa has an obligation to protect its people and build a healthy environment for the next generation to grow up in, with clean water to drink and clean air to breathe. He'll push for transparency and enforceable standards, informed by his direct experience fighting the Morgan Valley Energy Center power plant. Learn more
Mark will push for a law requiring a licensed physician, not an algorithm, to sign off before a claim can be denied, with firm response deadlines and public reporting of denial rates. Learn more
He'll also fight for Iowans at risk of losing coverage under the new Medicaid law, and make sure local providers have the support they need to keep their doors open. Learn more
Mark is proposing an 18-month statewide moratorium on new large-scale AI data center approvals, with a catch: it doesn't simply expire when the calendar runs out. Before a single new approval, ratepayer protections, water-use limits, and air quality standards have to be written into law — not just proposed. Eighteen months is enough time to get it right, working with industry rather than against it. Iowa needs the investment and the jobs, but not at the cost of our ratepayers, our water, or our air.

The Iowa House and Senate have failed to properly engage with a law already sitting on their own books, and Mark will push to change that. The Code itself sets the figure: 27 million pays those claims in full. Iowa's Taxpayer Relief Fund holds about 3.6 billion and earns roughly 80 million a year in interest, so the entire promise costs about a third of what that fund earns sitting still — no new tax, and no new program to build.
