Cindy Axne in Survey of 2018 House campaign websites
On Health Care:
Protect Medicare Advantage program for Iowa seniors
Axne joined a bipartisan effort to protect the Medicare Advantage program to ensure Iowa seniors have access to comprehensive, affordable health care as they age. "The Medicare Advantage program provides flexibility in care, allowing seniors
to receive the tailored services they need," said Rep. Axne. "Protecting this program for our seniors is not only the right thing to do, but saves us money and helps preserve Medicare for future generations."

On Education:
All-day kindergarten for ALL kids, not just the lucky half
As a mother of two sons in public schools, Cindy understands the importance of a high-quality education. It's why she fought to pass all day public kindergarten in West Des Moines after finding out that
West Des Moines' lottery system meant that half the children in the community were denied access to all day public kindergarten and got two and a half hours of education instead.

On Education:
Invest in STEM in schools, then trade schools OR college
For America to continue to lead the way in the global economy it's time we reinvest in our public-schools. We must prepare our children to compete in a global market by promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs that enable
students to graduate with the skills they need to be successful in today's workforce. Preparing the next generation for good-paying jobs that support a family requires providing young people with affordable access to community college,
apprenticeships, trade schools or four-year colleges. Cindy will fight for a greater investment in our community colleges and grow apprenticeship programs and trade schools so that every student has the opportunity to succeed. She will work to expand
Pell Grants and cap the interest rates on student loans so that Wall Street banks aren't profiting by burdening young people with debt that will take them decades to repay.

On Social Security:
Will fight against social security privatization
Donald Trump and Paul Ryan's budgets try to cut Medicare and privatize it, threatening seniors who have worked hard and paid into these systems. Cindy will stop Trump and Ryan, honoring the promises we've made to seniors. As a volunteer for years with
Friends of the Elderly, Cindy's seen up close how much our seniors depend on Social Security & Medicare. Cindy will fight Republican efforts to privatize and defund these programs so our seniors and families can live their lives with dignity.
