Representative Patti Ruff was the first Representative who took Abe and I onto the floor of the Iowa House of Representatives at the Capitol to meet him and hear his story. She also asked other Reps to come say Hello and introduced us to several other people who understood why a comprehensive medical cannabis program was so important to Iowans.
She wasn't even MY Representative but it turned out that she is my Dad and his wife Dorie's Representative in NE Iowa and they are showing their support for her re-election this year. Kindness matters! Listening to your constituents (and ALL Iowans regardless of their zip-code) is important. Making a mom with an overwhelmed toddler on FFA day at the Capitol feel heard was priceless. Thank you, Patti! You are what Representation at the Capitol is supposed to be. |
