Representative Jennifer Konfrst

Representative Jennifer Konfrst Mom, educator, and state representative putting people over politics. For Jennifer Konfrst, central Iowa is home. It’s where her family’s roots are.

It’s where she grew up and graduated high school. It’s where she teaches and the community that has trusted her to fight for them in the Iowa Legislature. It’s where she and her husband raised their kids. As a mom, educator, and state representative, Jennifer has been a fierce defender of Iowa’s working families. She has championed legislation to lower costs and make healthcare more affordable, ra

ise wages and take on corporate greed, protect reproductive freedom, and strengthen our public schools. As House Democratic Leader, Jennifer meets with and listens to Iowans all across Iowa’s Third Congressional District and she hears it time and again— people are tired of politicians who care more about their political futures than building strong families and communities. Jennifer is a fighter who won’t back down, a leader who will stand up to billionaires and corporations. Iowans need an economy that works for them, and she is ready to fight every day to set aside political games and put Iowans first.​

It’s official: former Senator Tom Harkin has endorsed Josh Turek for the United States Senate. What a poetic and beautifully fitting endorsement from the man who fought for the Americans with Disabilities Act to be supporting a candidate whose success in life has only been possible because of that legislation.

I was proud to work for Senator Harkin twice, and I was of course honored to be represented by him. His support for Josh Turek says a lot - Josh will govern with integrity, grit, and heart, just like Tom did. This is a big deal and a meaningful endorsement.

Happy Nurses Day to all the hard-working nurses out there who keep us safe and healthy. Thanks especially to United Nurses of Iowa Community for working to ensure nurses have a safe workplace. And of course to my mom, Penni Guyler, for your tireless work as a psychiatric and addiction/recovery nurse throughout your career.

That’s a wrap! From my first session in 2019 to my last adjournment yesterday after nearly 40 hours nonstop, it’s an honor to represent you at the Capitol. Of course I’m disappointed more wasn’t done to help make your life more affordable, despite our introduced legislation to do just that. I’ll never stop fighting for your rights and to make your lives better. I am pleased that this year we were able to make a small dent in addressing water quality, address some of our cancer crisis through radon mitigation and pediatric cancer funding, help small businesses, and other small measures to make a difference. There’s much more to do.

I am still proud to represent you until January, so please continue to reach out so I can help make life better for you if possible. Thank you for the opportunity to represent you!
