“As a moderate Democrat, I have the life experience needed to understand the issues and needs of the citizens in the district. I have cared for elderly relatives, fought for families in court, and experienced tragedy, crises, and victories. Through all of these experiences, I have learned how to problem-solve, think outside the box for solutions, and help others succeed no matter what issues they are facing. Through my volunteer work, I have written legislation, presented to legislators, and testified before Iowa legislative committees. I know the process of making laws and I’m ready to be effective on day 1 of the legislative session..” Plante said.

Plante said she aims to focus on unity.

“As a “purple” candidate, I realize that there are outstanding policies to help Iowans on both sides of the political spectrum.  I support Republican ideas and policies that are good. I support Democratic policies that are good. Bottom line – I support good ideas and policies, period,” Plante said.

Plante will be running against Republican candidate Travis Sitzmann during the election on November 5.
