On Families & Children: Double amount allowed for dependent care assistance plans

I firmly believe improving access to safe, affordable child care will make a difference in keeping Iowa on a pathway to full recovery. Recently, Sen. Joni Ernst and I introduced the Improving Child Care for Working Families Act to expand Iowa families' ability to pay for child care expenses. The legislation would more than double the amount of money families can place in dependent care assistance plans, which will allow families to better keep up with the rising cost of child care.

On Health Care: Member of Affordable and Accessible Health Care Task Force

Cindy's top priority in Congress is working to fix our broken health care system so that every Iowan has access to quality, affordable health care. Cindy will never let Washington go back to a time when Iowans with pre-existing conditions could be denied care. As a member of the Affordable and Accessible Health Care Task Force, Cindy is committed to advancing practical, bipartisan policies to improve our healthcare system.

On Social Security: Stop cuts to benefits for current and future retirees

Cindy will fight to make sure that every senior can retire with dignity. Cindy believes that Social Security and Medicare are promises we made to our seniors who worked hard and earned these benefits. Cindy will fight in Washington to stop attempts to cut benefits for current and future retirees and attempts to privatize Medicare and Social Security.

On Technology: Improve broadband access in rural communities

Axne is backing legislation that would invest over $90 billion to improve broadband access in rural communities across the country. Axne and members of the House Rural Broadband Task Force have reaffirmed their goal of closing the digital divide and extending affordable high-speed internet to all by introducing The Accessible, Affordable Internet for All Act. The bill includes $80 billion over five years to deploy high-speed broadband infrastructure to unserved and underserved areas.
