One of the first major issues unfolding this session is the conversation around carbon pipelines and eminent domain, and I’m committed to approaching it thoughtfully and with the people affected at the center.
Two different pipeline bills are moving through the Iowa Legislature, each taking a very different path. Both would have real, lasting impacts on Iowans, especially landowners and rural communities.
As a freshman legislator, my role is to listen first. I’m committed to meeting with landowners, talking with constituents across perspectives, and taking the time to understand the research, legal questions, and long-term implications before decisions are made.
This legislation is moving quickly, which makes it even more important to stay grounded in the realities Iowans are facing. If you have thoughts or stories you’d like to share, I hope you’ll reach out.
