Dvorsky’s work protects Iowans

I'm a deputy sheriff for Marshall County and a state senator. I want to thank your voters for the opportunity to work with your state senator, Bob Dvorsky, at the Iowa Statehouse.

Together, we've passed bipartisan legislation to crack down on sex offenders, prevent domestic violence murders and make our roads safer. We've also addressed important issues affecting Iowa's first responders.

Dvorsky protected children by banning sexual predators from areas near schools, day cares, libraries and other places where kids gather. In addition, sex offenders must now report the car they drive, it is easier for undercover officers to catch online predators, and strip clubs can no longer exploit minors.

I worked with Dvorsky to build a bipartisan majority to protect families by preventing convicted domestic abusers from owning guns. He made it illegal to fire a volunteer firefighter for missing work when called to duty, strengthened firefighters' disability and death benefits and protected first responders from personal liability for certain job-related activities.

Dvorsky has been a great partner when it comes to making Iowa smarter and tougher on crime.
