MASON CITY – Sharon Steckman will seek her fifth term in the Iowa House of Representatives.
Rep. Sharon Steckman, a Democrat from Mason City, this week filed for reelection in Iowa House District 53 in Cerro Gordo County.
“I have been honored to represent North Iowa and want to continue to work to make sure we prioritize education for all Iowans, pre K-12 and beyond. I will keep fighting to make sure Iowans have the essential health and family services needed to ensure success in school,” said Steckman.
“I strongly believe that we need to make sure Iowa is an environmentally attractive place to live, and that includes protecting and enhancing our waterways. With today’s rapid changes in technology, it’s also important to keep our kids safe online and make sure our small businesses and schools can access WI-FI and other technology they need to succeed,” added Steckman.
Steckman is currently serving her fourth term in the Iowa House and serves on the Education, Environmental Protection, Labor and Ways & Means Committees. She is also an Assistant House Minority Leader.
Steckman spent 30 years in the classroom and has since retired from the Mason City Community School District. She serves on the Tax Credit Interim Committee, on the MHEC (Midwest Higher Education Compact) Council, the local RSVP Board, the State IJAG Board (Iowa Jobs for America’s Graduates), Una Vocis Board, and the Francis Lauer Youth Services Board and past member of the STEM Council. She and her husband, Alan, reside in Mason City.
A challenger for this House seat emerged in February.
Barbara Hovland, 54, who resides in Mason City, announced her candidacy February 11. She currently serves as the Cerro Gordo GOP chairwoman and has been deeply involved in the caucusing process and organizing the party locally.
The Iowa House of Representatives is currently controlled by Republicans.
