2018 IA Governor's race: on Technology


Cathy Glasson: Create jobs with infrastructure investment

When it comes to moving off fossil fuels, Glasson believes a 100% renewable energy future protects communities in the long run and creates much needed job opportunities. In her questionnaire, Glasson said, "We do that by working with experts in the field, investing in infrastructure, new public transit options and new forms of fuel replacement so that state government leads the way. We need to create new green jobs guaranteeing workers a $15 minimum wage, good benefits and union rights."

Nate Boulton: Invest in rural infrastructure, including for tourism

Boulton said rural areas need greater infrastructure investment, and in an interview, he cited the Vision Iowa program as a model. The program offered grants and loans for local tourism-related initiatives in the early 2000s. "I think a program like that would be worth exploring again," he said.
