WOW! My opponent Mike Klimesh was thanked in several of today's Sunday papers for passing legislation prohibiting Iowans for suing chemical companies whose products cause cancer.

How is that standing up for Iowa farmers when they are the ones most likely to suffer the bad effects of these chemicals?

​Shielding multinational chemical companies from accountability sure won't reduce Iowa's skyrocketing cancer incidence rate! We deserve better representation in Des Moines.

“On behalf of the Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) representing public education
professionals across the state, we are pleased to recommend Brian Bruening for the Iowa Senate,"
said ISEA President Joshua Brown. "We believe Brian Bruening will do what is best for all of Iowa’s
students regardless of the ZIP code in which they live and be a voice for education professionals
as important decisions are made that impact our students and our public schools.”

The Iowa Farmers Union is committed to supporting family farming, sustainable agriculture, thriving rural communities, and healthy landscapes across Iowa. We are dedicated to advocating for a more just and equitable food system that benefits all Iowans.
