During each election cycle, candidates for local, state and federal office establish platforms and advocate for policy reform. Those platforms and their potential impact are critical to making informed decisions at the ballot box.
The Iowa Association of Business and Industry has partnered with BIPAC to provide an important resource, www.iavotes.com, where Iowa voters can research and learn more on where candidates and elected officials stand on issues important to Iowa employees, industry sectors and consumers.
This nonpartisan, unbiased information can help voters learn about issues, take action, spread the word and help more Iowans make educated decisions in November.
