Tonight, Iowans across the state made their voices heard, and they voted to restore our public schools to their former glory. They voted to address our cancer crisis with real solutions, not with rhetoric, and to make public service the focus of government, not politics, by regulating, well, the people that need regulation the most, politicians. More than anything else, Iowans voted for change. They voted for checks and balances, and they voted to bring transparency and accountability back to state government.
