Senate Democratic Leader Rob Hogg’s 2017 Session Review
Republicans gained complete control of Iowa’s state government in the 2016 elections by promising to invest in education, create new jobs, raise family incomes, and clean up Iowa’s water. That’s not what they did.
2017 Session Wrap-up
Democrats continue to stand up to the attack on hard-working Iowans.

Economic prosperity and fiscal responsibility will return when the Governor, Lt. Governor and legislators work in a bipartisan way to make smart investments in Iowa and Iowans.
