Rizer will represent values of Iowans

I worked for and alongside Ken Rizer every day for nearly two years as an employee at Goodwill of the Heartland. His care and consideration for all people (including a mostly female staff at Goodwill, as well as many employees and clients with disabilities) was incredible. These false accusations regarding his stand on issues relating to women are completely baseless.

Rizer has a heart for all people regardless of gender, especially those with the greatest needs. I also know that he has daughters and would never do anything which could negatively impact the life or choices of his girls. I've been a member of the Democratic Party for years as that's where my values align, but I would gladly put my fate in the hands of Rizer. He is someone I feel would represent the values of Iowans and of women as a House Representative.
