Finkenauer offers a fresh perspective

With the upcoming election in the 1st Congressional District, we need to focus. There is a kick-butt candidate in that race, and her name is Abby Finkenauer. I urge you to give her the keys to represent Iowans; she has a great value system.

As a community outreach advocate assistant, I have been very moved by how Abby can bring positive change - and total good is what we need in our leaders. She is honest.

Abby knows how to get her hands dirty with the big boys in Washington. She will not be afraid of the challenge. She is very approachable and doesn't hide from her constituents.

So, if you want honesty and good decision-making back in the government, I urge you to back Abby Finkenauer. We have a chance to become a kind and civil country again.
