Drew Stensland is running for Iowa House District 75. Drew believes that public schools should be fully funded. One way he will do this is to begin with a repeal of SF478, the law that removed the State Auditor's ability to gain oversight of programs like these vouchers.

🧑‍🏫 The world needs them!!!

🍎🌎 Happy World Teachers' Day to the educators who show up for Iowa's kids every single day! Iowa’s educators are simply the best; today and every day, we recognize their remarkable impact!

The best way to honor the people who teach our kids? Elect leaders who respect them. That's why ISEA has created a list of pro-public education candidates.
