Read Kay's Iowa Alliance for Retired Americans Endorsement

The Iowa Alliance for Retired Americans Endorses Kay Pence for Iowa House District 70

As the Iowa chapter of the National Alliance for Retired Americans, our grassroots advocacy organization, with 4.4 million members and 39 state chapters, stands united in our mission to ensure every American enjoys a secure and dignified retirement. Our diverse group includes former teachers, auto workers, state and federal government workers, construction workers, and community leaders, all committed to advocating for retirees' rights.

Iowa is currently facing several critical challenges that require immediate and effective action:

  1. Nursing Home Crisis: Iowa ranks second worst in the nation for nursing home inspectors, with numerous facilities closing since June 2022. This crisis impacts aging Iowans significantly, and we need a leader who comprehends the gravity of this situation and can spearhead initiatives to resolve it.

  2. Pharmacy Closures: Local pharmacies are shutting down, and even rural Walmarts and HyVees are operating part-time due to ineffective Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) legislation. This trend threatens the accessibility of essential medications for many residents.

  3. Economic Stagnation: Iowa ranks 49th in personal income growth, tied with Mississippi. This economic stagnation affects the quality of life and financial security for Iowans.

In response to these pressing issues, the Iowa Alliance for Retired Americans proudly endorses Kay Pence for Iowa House District 70. Kay is a dedicated advocate for economic growth and security, particularly for Scott, Clinton, and Jackson Counties. Her commitment to addressing Iowa’s urgent challenges makes her an ideal candidate.

Kay Pence has a proven track record of fighting for the rights and well-being of all Iowans. Her focus on supporting seniors, students, and residents ensures that everyone can live, work, and thrive in Iowa. Kay’s dedication to our community’s well-being and her readiness to tackle these issues head-on demonstrates that she is the leader we need.

Join us in supporting Kay Pence for Iowa House District 70. Together, we can make Iowa a state where individuals can age with dignity and security.

Ken Sagar, President Iowa Alliance for Retired Americans
