2012 Voter's Guide: U.S. Congressional Candidates' Views on Children and Families - Candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives
4th District of Iowa:
US Representative Steve King
Former First Lady Christie Vilsack
This guide was developed as a public service by Every Child Counts for the Children's Policy Coalition. This is a coalition of over 30 Iowa organizations, staffed by ECC, that aims to raise child and family policy issues to the prominence they deserve.
We asked each candidate to answer seven questions about children, their future and what role they think government has to play in a child's future success.
The Children's Policy Coalition, a group of 32 Iowa organizations committed to raise child and family policy issues to the prominence they deserve, unveiled a new website, the one-stop-shop for information about child policy in the 2012 elections.
Visitors to the site will find analysis of child policies in state and national party platforms, information on voting in Iowa, links to candidate websites and advice on how to raise the profile of seven key policy areas -- from child health and safety to family economic success -- in electoral debate.
Denver. We thought we would share with you what some other states are doing to get children's issues into the spotlight of the election.
