This event is being held in conjunction with Progress Iowa. The new organizer sent along this email explaining the event. Let’s give him a rousing welcome to eastern Iowa:
| I’m Alex Paul Shantz, Progress Iowa’s new First Congressional District organizer for the Fairness for Iowa program. I started in the role on Wednesday and wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you before the end of my first week!
I’ve lived in eastern Iowa for the last six years and in that time have worked on several previous state and federal election campaigns across the First Congressional District. In this time, I’ve seen so much great work being done by progressive Iowans in their communities across our district to advocate for policies that will help every Iowan get on in life, and hold their elected officials to account. Now, as Progress Iowa’s First District organizer, I’m excited to work with all of you to continue this great work, and in particular call out elected representatives for their votes to cut essential parts of the social safety net like Medicaid and SNAP that so many Iowans rely on to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, all while doing nothing to tackle the rising costs of groceries and healthcare. I’m looking forward to meeting many of you in the coming months as I travel across the district to organize and host events in many of the great communities in our district. My kick-off event will be a town hall in Muscatine next Tuesday, July 29 (6 to 7:30 pm at Musser Public Library) on how Rep. Miller-Meeks’ and Senator Joni Ernst’s vote for the Republican Tax Law hurts Iowa families. Local leaders, healthcare workers, and other community members will speak about the impact of cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and vital services, and how their communities will pay the price for a bill that benefits billionaires. If you are in the area, please feel free to join us at 6:30 pm and introduce yourself! All the best, |
