Fred Hubbell is my choice for Iowa

This year Gov. Kim Reynolds and Republican lawmakers continued to put wasteful corporate giveaways ahead of investing in Iowa. They gave millions to out of state companies, like Apple, while cutting funding for our Regent universities, community colleges, and underfunding K-12.
Our state needs a governor who will lift up our education institutions with the support and funding they need to educate, prepare, and train our state's future leaders.
That's why I'm supporting Fred Hubbell's campaign. Simply put, Fred puts Iowa's budget where his priorities are. His top priority is restoring Iowa's education leadership, and his wholehearted support for Iowa's classrooms are exactly what this state needs.
If Iowans want more years of income and economic stagnation, if they want teachers to pay out of pocket for classroom supplies, if they want their children strapped with student debt, then vote for someone else. But if that's not what you want - and you want Iowa schools to again be places of world-class teaching, learning, and models of success - then vote Fred Hubbell on June 5.
