Our Tax Dollars, Their Secrets
The $18 Million Cover-Up It’s hard to find the words when you realize exactly how your hard-earned money is being spent in Washington. As a mama, a taxpayer, and a proud Iowan, I’m used to hearing that there’s “no room in the budget.” We’re told there isn’t enough for our local public schools. There isn’t…

The Price of a War That Isn’t Ours
I remember exactly where I was as an adolescent when the “Forever Wars” began after 9/11. We were told it was about safety, about “weapons of mass destruction,” about protecting our way of life.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘. 🇺🇸 I am sitting here looking at the news, and my heart is breaking. They are reporting that dozens of little girls, more than 100, were killed today when a school was hit during the strikes in Iran. This is nuts. As a mother and as a human being, this is unnecessary,…

Zach Lahn for Governor of Iowa
Putting my pain into purpose. 🎗️🙏🏻 My journey as a 2x cancer survivor has taught me that silence isn’t an option when our future is at stake. With Iowa facing the 2nd highest cancer rate in the nation, we can’t afford ‘politics as usual.’ We need a leader who has the guts to name the…

Pain into Purpose: Protecting Iowa
After preschool pick-up today, I went and fought to protect Iowa’s air, land, and water. I didn’t change out of my “mama gear,” and I didn’t leave my survivor story at the door. I walked into the State Capitol because the health of our children shouldn’t be a “future” problem—it’s a right-now crisis. As I…
