Do Iowans want results or resistance?

U.S. Rep. Rod Blum delivers for the people of the 1st District. Listening to Abby Finkenauer, you would think we are suffering here.
Blum has delivered on the economy, supporting President Donald Trump's tax cuts. Wages are starting to increase. Unemployment in Iowa and nationally is low. Seniors know Blum supports their health care benefits, and they are finally seeing retirement funds increase in value. Competition in health care by crossing state lines is helping provide affordable options. There is more to do but Blum listens and tirelessly produces results for Iowans.
Take a look at Finkenauer's list of campaign donors to see that 82 percent of her contributions are from outside of Iowa. These organizations will expect her support on their issues, not Iowa's. Politics of personal destruction, mob rule and violence are not Iowa values.
Blum holds our personal Iowa traditions.
Life is good in Iowa and going in the right direction. Let's keep it that way.
