Mathis is voice of middle class

After taking a closer look at the two candidates for Senate District 18, it is pretty clear to me that Liz Mathis is the candidate for Iowa's middle class. Her platform is detailed about how she'll work to create good jobs to support our families. Her opponent, Cindy Golding, seems interested in a vague platform of “reducing regulations for businesses.” I don't see how that rhetoric moves us forward in making Iowa a better place for our families.
We need someone who is right down the middle and Mathis strikes the right balance that we need in the Iowa Senate right now.
