When we are in the White House, we will reverse the Trump administration's elimination of President Obama's rule to let small farmers take legal action when they are abused by big corporate middlemen. The same goes for Trump's elimination of the agency inside the USDA that enforces antitrust laws in the meatpacking industry.

When we are in the White House, we will also enact a federal jobs guarantee, to ensure that everyone is guaranteed a stable job, and to make sure that our young people have decent jobs so they do not have to leave the towns they grew up in and love.

When we are in the White House, we will pass the Green New Deal to fight against climate change, which is destroying farms across the state. This will put people to work rebuilding rural Iowa's infrastructure and support family farms in implementing regenerative farming practices. It'll mean clean water for all as we stop corporate polluters from poisoning Iowa waterways.

This is about taking on the incredibly powerful institutions that control the economic and political life of this country. They will spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to defeat us. But we have something they don't have. We have the people. If we stand together, this country has an extraordinary future. Let's make it happen.
