Mathis would be another Pelosi liberal

We only have four congressional districts in our state. Four people to call the shots on the House floor with the people of Iowa in mind. To send someone to D.C. who would do just what Nancy Pelosi wants from her would not be the best representation of us.
It’s clear from her voting record in the state Senate that Liz Mathis is on the same side as Pelosi on every issue. She voted against tax cuts for Iowa families. She voted for children to be kept in front of computer screens instead of going to school. Liberal Liz votes for the far-left policy every chance she gets, putting hardworking families at the bottom of the totem pole.
We do not want a pushover, swampy politician to represent our district. We do not need someone else for Pelosi to instruct how to vote. If we want real representation, we cannot allow Liz Mathis to be our congresswoman.
