DM County chair endorses Kirkman for District 99

Dear Neighbor,
Our community has a vital opportunity to shape the future of Southeast Iowa. Every vote cast is a voice for the direction of our schools, our economy, and our families. That is why I am writing to you today to urge you to make your voice heard at the ballot box and to cast your vote for Jennifer Kirkman for Iowa House District 99.
Our community deserves a representative who will put people first, listen to working families, and work tirelessly to bring balance and results to Des Moines. Jennifer Kirkman is exactly that leader. As a local family law attorney with over 20 years of experience, a small business owner, and a dedicated community volunteer right here in Burlington, Jennifer has spent her career advocating for families during life’s most challenging moments. She understands the kitchen-table issues we face because she lives them and listens to our neighbors every day.
Jennifer is running on a platform built around the needs of our community: Strengthening Public Education: Jennifer is committed to reversing the damage done to our public school systems, ensuring public dollars stay in public schools, and restoring Iowa’s status as an educational leader. Addressing Cost of Living: She understands that rising costs for groceries, utilities, and property taxes are squeezing working families, and she will champion real solutions to lower everyday costs. Expanding Healthcare Access: Jennifer will fight for affordable, patient-centered healthcare and fiercely protect reproductive rights in Iowa. Building a Robust Economy: She supports meaningful job creation, fair wages, safe working conditions, and strong worker rights to retain and recruit hardworking people to Southeast Iowa. Change only happens when we show up. Change only happens when the winner goes to Des Moines and works for the people who elected them. That is why I am asking- no, I am begging you- to vote, and when you do, check the box for Jennifer Kirkman. She is the change that Southeast Iowa needs.
