Small business owners and farmers know what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet.

They also vote.

Small businesses and family farms aren’t like big businesses.  To prosper, they need thriving communities and policies that support quality jobs.

They are rooted in their communities.

They can’t and won’t simply leave to seek higher profits, bigger tax breaks, cheaper labor or to avoid responsibility for environmental waste.

They reject the idea that Iowa will be safer or more prosperous by closing our communities to immigrants or mistreating people based on gender, sexual identity or religion.

They reject racism.

Instead, they know their bottom line depends on a strong social fabric with respect for all of the people who make Iowa home.

This MSA Iowa Briefing Book is a snapshot of values and policy priorities.
