About this user

I'm a committed public servant and activist who has served fourteen years in the Iowa House of Representatives. I also ran for governor in 2006, and though I didn't win, I received 26% of the vote. (The pundits who tried to predict election results at first thought I'd get about 5% of the vote. So, while winning would have been better, finishing way ahead of projections was encouraging.)

I have run every one of my elections without money from PACs, paid lobbyists or big donors. As a citizen, I continue to work for a Voter-Owned Iowa Clean Elections (VOICE) law, and have helped create a new organization called I'M for Iowa committed to this and other progressive reforms.

My focus as a lawmaker is to champion the needs of constituency groups that are treated unfairly by government or neglected by the majority of policy makers. I continue with that focus in my work with I'M for Iowa and with John Edwards in his campaign for president.

I am socially progressive and fiscally conservative and believe in putting human need before corporate greed.

Together we will bring progressive change to America. Please contribute to my Congressional Campaign at www.actblue.com.
