Jobs for Iowans was the focus of the election of 2010. Unfortunately, Iowa has lost jobs since then. We need to make something happen now before Iowa loses another year of economic growth.

Liz Mathis understands that we should reward companies that hire Iowans. Cutting commercial property taxes for small business owners and giving a break to companies that hire Iowans are good ideas Liz supports that will help grow our economy.

We need new jobs to keep our outstanding college graduates in the state and fulfill the vision of Iowa as a great place to live and raise a family. I believe Liz will be the kind of senator who can help that future come true.
