Members of the Kossuth County Childcare Coalition met with Kolby DeWitt, Outreach Director for Senator Joni Ernst and Dick Sievers, representative from Senator Chuck Grassley’s office (and retired Director of Children and Families of Iowa) met to discuss childcare challenges and solutions we are working on throughout Kossuth County.

Other key topics discussed included a housing bill passed by the Senate and is being discussed in the House, agriculture, the economy, and business development projects. It’s always great to connect with representatives of our federal legislators.
