I come home to Iowa every weekend and meet with families, businesses, community leaders and farmers from throughout the 2nd District. What I hear time and again, whether it be from someone I run into at the gas station or at a chamber of commerce meeting, is that the No. 1 priority for Iowans, and therefore for me, is job creation and economic recovery. I have worked diligently toward this goal and will continue to do so in order to support hardworking Iowa families and the small businesses that are the drivers of our economy.
