Mike Blouin Iowa Quotations

Every student should have the educational opportunities available to them so that they can enthusiastically pursue any career opportunity they might be interested in. And then we need to create those career opportunities in Iowa so that they have the opportunity to live out their educational interests between our rivers.

I introduced a bill to create the minimum wage in Iowa when I was a freshman legislator. I set it at a buck an hour, and they called me a socialist for trying.

If we want Iowa to thrive ? not just survive in coming years ? but really thrive, we should establish Iowa as a health care leader and take the bold and responsible steps to protect our children.
