Iowa is #1 in the nation for affordability, #2 for opportunity and - according to a major new study - #3 for quality of life.
There's nowhere in the world better to live, work and raise a family!

Today, Iowa’s public employee retirement system announced an annual return of nearly 13%. That’s an additional $4.7B in the savings of hardworking Iowans—and the best return since the post-Covid surge.
Our state continues to deliver quality retirement benefits for all employees!

Iowa has done more in the first year of Rural Health Transformation than any other state.
With a total of $93M invested in cancer prevention and treatment alone, we have the potential to save thousands of lives.

The new Grays Woods campus in DSM will be more than a recovery center—it will be a beacon of hope for over 1,000 Iowans per year.
So proud of Iowa’s $8M contribution to this $18.5M project. And grateful to @CFRHelps, Polk County, and the donors who are making it possible.

National Farm Safety Week is a great reminder for all Iowans to slow down and put safety first. A successful harvest isn't just about productivity—it's about protecting the farmers who keep our state strong.

Restarting Duane Arnold will create nearly 1,500 Iowa jobs in construction and support over 450 more during operations. Thank you @ENERGY for empowering economic growth in our state!
Deputy Secretary Danly celebrated the restart of Iowa's only nuclear plant, the Duane Arnold Energy Center!
Once online, Duane Arnold will generate enough electricity to power nearly 500,000 homes thanks to a loan from @DOE_EDF. President Trump's American nuclear renaissance is here.

Thank you @SecRollins and @SecKennedy for your commitment to improving children’s nutrition!
Iowa is proud to lead the nation in this effort, with a ban on harmful dyes in school lunches and funding for 125 schools to purchase Iowa-grown and raised food.
REAL FOOD IS BACK IN SCHOOLS!🍎📚
America’s farmers and ranchers grow the safest, healthiest food in the world — and our children deserve more of it in their schools.
@SecKennedy and I are working together to put REAL FOOD back at the center of American nutrition and raise the healthiest generation in history. 💪🇺🇸

Excited for @USDA to build on record biofuels exports by deepening international engagement.
As I said during my trade mission to India last year, Iowa’s biofuels leadership supports American farmers while helping partners diversify energy sources.
2025 is now the greatest year for U.S. ethanol exports in American history! USDA's new American Biofuels Trade Outlook released today builds upon 2025's record U.S. ethanol export performance, removes restrictions to American biofuels, and secures new market opportunities for U.S. farmers.
The plan will:
📈 Increase On-Road Ethanol Blending
🤝 Reduce and Remove Restrictions Placed on Crop-Based Biofuels
🌏 Reach Untapped Markets
✈️ Accelerate Opportunities with International Organizations

Iowans have waited a long time for a modernized Farm Bill with nationwide, year-round E15. Today, @SenateAgGOP delivered. Now, it’s up to the full Senate to act to support farmers and consumers at the pump.

When it comes to making learning relevant and connecting education to industry, Iowa’s new Teacher of the Year is a class act.
Thank you to Jessica Howard of @LTLions for preparing Iowans to succeed in the workforce!
And thank you to all educators who are the reason over half of Iowa students now experience work-based learning in high school!

Twenty-five years ago, a targeted attack against America shook the foundation of our country and tested its resiliency. Nearly 3,000 innocent lives—including at least eight Iowans—were tragically lost that day.
On this solemn anniversary, we remember and honor them, and reaffirm our resolve to stand together against those who threaten our people and our ideals.
