Moms for Liberty chapters across Iowa endorsed 13 candidates in the 2023 school board races. Out of the 13, a single candidate won in the I35 school district; a rural district with fewer than 1000 students.

The most Christ-like thing anyone can do, the way to be the brightest light in the darkness, is to feed hungry children. If you have the ability to do so and refuse, you are deliberately disobeying one of Christ’s clearest demands. “Let the children be fed first” Mark 7:27
On Christmas and always, may we be the light in the darkness.
Kevin and I, and our family, wish you and yours a Christmas filled with joy and light!

Yes it does. There is a well known link between dollars available for food and childhood obesity. And it’s in the exact opposite direction that Reynolds is asserting.
"An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic," said Reynolds.

To be clear, this is not a piece of legislation that will actually help anyone. This is what the Governor does any time her policy priorities are faltering: she attacks trans people to rally her base. Since her AEA bill is a disaster, she's bringing out the greatest hits.
1. Just released: Governor Kim Reynolds has proposed legislation mandating that trans people have BOTH gender markers on drivers license (M/F).
It would also end all recognition for trans people.
