The following is a legislative update from State Senator Amanda Ragan, representing Franklin, Butler and Cerro Gordo counties:
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be at the top of everyone’s mind. We’re all adjusting to a new normal—talking, thinking and acting differently than we did just a month ago.
We must stay the course, following the best advice of our public health experts. The Coronavirus Task Force has extended its Slow the Spread campaign through the end of April. Please do all you can to make it effective. Most important: Stay home. Limiting contact with others is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones.
To that end, Democratic Legislative leaders have called on the Governor to send a clear message about the serious nature of this pandemic by immediately issuing at statewide stay-at-home-order. The request was made after hearing from Iowa medical professionals, watching confirmed cases increase by more than 450% since last week and receiving mounting complaints about the shortage of testing and medical equipment.
This is undeniably a difficult time. Many essential workers are in harm’s way, taking care of others and doing important jobs to ensure the rest of us have what we need. Meanwhile, small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, and tens of thousands of Iowans suddenly find themselves with no resources to provide for their families.
Senate Democrats have put together a COVID webpage at senate.iowa.gov/democrats/covid-19 with helpful resources for the many challenges Iowans are facing right now. It also provides links to information that will keep you up to date on the evolving situation, with more being added as information becomes available.

I nominate Janet Solberg, to run against Amanda Ragan for Iowa Senate.
not sure who you dislike more
Why wasn’t the entire world shut down from the flu, far more deaths from the flu – plandemic, agenda 2030 “one world order”, all pre planned exercise from those who hate Jesus the Christ, also do you truly believe any of these people care about humanity if so what evidence would support that? The “Smith Mundt Act” was reinstated with the last POTUS, what the act means officials can “lie” to the public legally, with that how does anyone know what they say is true or a lie. They read scripts, never trust anyone with a agenda – their motto order out of chaos – problem, reaction, solution and the ends justify the means, wake up an research.
Amanda nobody care’s what you think, we almost retire you last time, wait till next year your gone baby, gone.
Vote her out people, put her back in that soup kitchen where she belong’s.
Need an opponent, though…
