Recently Black Lives Matter protests occurred throughout our state and in HD 73. In response, the Iowa Police Chiefs Association, along with the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP, formed the Law Enforcement Vision for Equality Task Force. It was formed to create a common ground from which to develop proposals for necessary changes in law enforcement.
Lonny Pulkrabek, who is running for Statehouse in HD 73, was appointed as a member of this task force - he will be at the forefront of those working to improve relationships and communications between law enforcement and the community.
This appointment confirms what many of us know: Lonny Pulkrabek is committed to justice and to equality. That's the kind of leadership we need in the Iowa Statehouse. In November I hope you will vote for Lonny Pulkrabek as State Representative for House District 73.
