“I’m excited to get on the doors and meet the new people in my district to find out what’s important to them,” Thede said in a statement. “I’ll always listen, put politics aside, and do what’s best for the people of my district.”
Thede spent her career working in Davenport Community Schools before retiring in 2016.
“I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in the Iowa House, but our work is not done,” Thede said in a news release. “From affordable child care to good jobs to accessible health care, there is more we can do to give hard-working Iowa families the economic security they deserve. We have more to do to address the effects of the pandemic, fund our public schools, and make sure every Iowan has access to quality and affordable healthcare.”
Thede serves on the House Appropriations, House Local Government, and Natural Resources committees and is the ranking Democrat on the Administration and Rules Committee.
