Iowa A Progressive Star State

State Senator Joe Bolkcom's Networker reports:

On June 14th, Progressive States Network and the Center for American Progress Action Fund hosted a panel in Washington, D.C to highlight the series of progressive victories being won in states across the country. I was invited to participate in a panel along with legislators from Maryland and Washington to discuss our Iowa legislative accomplishments.

I reviewed our accomplishments addressing climate change and energy policy as well as reviewed a series of other progressive accomplishments of the General Assembly and Governor Culver.

Iowa was one of six states that received a Star State designation. The report can be seen at Progressive States Network.

A long time ago, (April) I was also invited to participate in the Progressive States Network Gala. See a YouTube video of my comments at the Gala at YouTube Video.
