Iowa House District 19 is centered on Council Bluffs and southwestern Pottawattamie County, stretching from Carter Lake along the Missouri River down through the heart of Council Bluffs. It's home to working families, small businesses, and the neighborhoods Ben has spent his life serving as a nurse.
Every corner of this district deserves a representative who shows up, listens, and fights for affordable healthcare, good schools, and a place everyone can call home.
It's time we stand up for our ideals and take on the status quo.
Ben will fight to lower prescription drug costs for Iowa families, expand healthcare access across rural Iowa, and invest in life-saving medical research here at home. He’ll work to keep Iowa’s rural hospitals and nursing homes open, advocate for stronger benefits for Iowa Veterans, and ensure mental health services are available in communities across the state—not hours away.
Reverse the downward trend of Iowa's rankings in public education by investing in our schools and teachers, and ensuring that every child has access to a quality education.
Tackle the growing cancer crisis in Iowa by investing in research, expanding access to screenings ensuring equitable care for all Iowans.
Housing costs are skyrocketing in Iowa, and families are being priced out of their homes. Ben will fight to lower property taxes, increase affordable housing options, and ensure that every Iowan has a place to call home.
I am a 33 year old nurse, who originally started in medicine as a paramedic at the age of 20. I began working in small town America until 2016, at which point I transferred to Select Specialty's ICU and eventually worked to becom3 an RN. I currently specialize in cardiology as the nurse for two different cardiologists.
Proud to have the support of leaders and organizations fighting for Iowa's working families.
