Iowa House Democrats vow to enshrine abortion rights in the Iowa Constitution should they reclaim a legislative majority in the Nov. 5 election.

Democrats who are seeking to expand their numbers in the Iowa House announced four top agenda items Thursday for the 2025 legislative session, addressing public education, reproductive freedom, legalizing marijuana for adults and reducing costs for families.

Iowa voters want their leaders to listen to what they want. And what voters want is key to the policy agenda for the 2025 legislative session announced Thursday by Iowa House Democrats in the state house.

Iowa Democrats currently hold no control over the legislative agenda in Iowa.  They hope that unveiling their priorities for the next session in January will change that.  Party leaders say they want to focus on four popular items they say Iowans want to see state leaders address.

Democrats hope to drive voters in local ballot races by advocating to make changes to topics like abortion and public education, if they can win the House majority.

Democrats say ensuring Iowans have access to in vitro fertilization will be one of their priorities if Democrats win a majority of seats in the Iowa House. House Minority Leader Jennifer Konfrst says Republican Governor Kim Reynolds wouldn’t sign a repeal of Iowa’s six-week abortion ban,
