Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Janice Weiner has issued the following statement regarding the end of the 2025 legislative session.
“This was a session marked by division, special interest giveaways, and partisanship,” Sen. Weiner said. “There were limited occasions when the people’s interests were truly served in the Senate chamber.”
“Senate Democrats offered a number of opportunities for the majority party to join us in reducing costs, improving access to critical services and resources, and prioritizing Iowa’s working families. I believe government works best when we work together, bridge divides, and work for the common good of Iowans – unfortunately, that was all too rare. Senate Democrats will continue to offer a positive alternative as we fight for lower costs, well-funded public schools, economic security for workers, and a better deal for ALL Iowans,” Sen. Weiner said.
