The GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of food eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children. In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help. 👎

No, @IowaGOP, we will not be going back to the days when committed, loving same-sex couples don’t have the same right to marriage equality as everyone else. This kind of disgusting hatred and backwards thinking has no place in Iowa. And I’ll fight it every single day.

I am proud that Teamsters Local 238 has voted to support @KamalaHarris, who has been a leader in the most pro-union Administration of my lifetime.

As the son of an Muslim immigrant from the Middle East, I could not be more proud of these results. This is proof that @BernieSanders is successfully building a multiracial, working-class movement to transform this nation into a more equitable and welcoming society. #NotMeUs

After 10 months of building a diverse coalition of elected officials, community activists, and labor support, I'm officially unopposed in the race for HD 78. I'll be the first Arab American to serve in the Iowa Legislature, and one of the youngest members in our state government.

The Governor’s plan to give public dollars to private schools is a budget-busting nightmare. Within 4 years, this plan would cost almost a billion dollars.

While not every race went the way we hoped it would tonight, I am incredibly proud to be heading to the Iowa State House. When I get there, I'll be one of Iowa's youngest legislators and one of only a handful of Arab-Americans to serve in elected office, nationwide.
