“In fall 2016, she dusted off her grassroots political skills and worked for three intensive months as a field organizer. The results of the 2016 elections deepened her determination to ensure that good candidates who care about all the people get into office. She believes that we are all ultimately measured by how well we treat those who have the least.”
(Candidate statement) “During her first term in the Iowa Senate, Janice has focused on listening to Iowans, building an effective team within the Democratic caucus - and calling our her colleagues in the majority party when they are not paying attention to what Iowans want.”
(Candidate statement) “Shortly after she was elected, a senate seat became vacant when Chris Cournoyer was appointed lieutenant governor, triggering a special election in SD35 - Clinton County and parts of Jackson and Scott Counties. With the right candidate and a ton of hard work in frigid temperatures, Senator MIke Zimmer flipped that seat. Then we were 16.”
