We're going to continue to look for ways that we can make our state competitive.

Our military, police, and first responders risk their lives to protect ours, and so today - and every day - we should thank those who serve and honor those we've lost.

I believe that victims of sexual harassment must be allowed to tell their story on their time, in their own way.

It takes courage to come forward, and I don't want any victim of sexual harassment to think twice about doing so.

Whether it was investing in a strong workforce, leading the charge to protect our children or voting to balance our budget, I've seen Ashley Hinson step up and work tirelessly in the state legislature to fight for Iowans.

Iowa truly is a place where if you work hard, dream big, anything is possible.

I believe that the Trump-Pence ticket is the team that can turn this country around, improve the lives of Americans and Iowans and especially those of women.

I'm a pretty good listener.

Reach out to the military-connected youth in your classrooms, your neighborhoods and your families and offer your gratitude for the service they undoubtedly provide in supporting, uplifting and encouraging the men and women of the United States armed forces.

Obamacare is unaffordable, unworkable and unsustainable.

I understand the world of addiction. I get it. I know how fleeting recovery can be.

To those state and local government employees who care deeply about this issue, let me be crystal clear: Under my watch, your IPERS is safe. It will not change; it will be protected; and you will have the retirement you were promised. Period.

There is no civil discourse left and it is really sad.

Iowa's small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and the engine behind our economy.

From disaster relief to representation in Congress, the census plays an important role in protecting Iowa's future.

In Iowa it's a low cost of living, a short commute. Your money goes twice as far. There are so many opportunities that exist in our state and we need to do a better job of touting that.

I just hope by how I live my life every day that people can see there is another side to addiction. You can live with it and have a successful life.

As we continue to learn how to live with COVID-19 until a vaccine is available, we'll also learn how to carefully balance not only the health of Iowans but the health of our economy.

Work-based learning is a game changer. It's like test driving a career, and I have seen it in action with our registered apprenticeship programs for high school students.

I've made it pretty clear that I can't legislate or dictate proper behavior. You can't. You do everything that you can.

I'm not about change for the sake of change, but we should always be evaluating any initiative we're working on to see if we can do it better.

In Iowa, we're fortunate to have a public-private initiative called the EPIC Corporate Challenge. EPIC stands for 'Economic Potential for Iowa Companies and Communities.'

The amount of start-ups that are being generated from Israel, and it's such a small state, they're looking for markets to really take those businesses in scale. We really, I think, have done a good job of indicating how Iowa is a good place for that.

As a mom, grandma and governor of Iowa, I believe we have an opportunity and a responsibility to combat the teen vaping epidemic.

Both parties recognize the fundamental danger the country's debt poses to our nation's future, but President Obama's policies have not reflected that reality. By the end of his first term, his administration will have nearly doubled our public debt.
