What abilities make the most qualified politicians nowadays? We need a motivator, an advocator and an appreciator. It is not often we come across a political representative that can do all three, and do them well. Your current District 45 representative can do just that.

Beth Wessel-Kroeschell has been your Iowa House representative since 2005, and should undoubtedly hold her seat through this election.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Wessel-Kroeschell through summer work. Aside from her positive attitude and warm personality, Wessel-Kroeschell was a talented motivator to the employees that worked under her. Just as she motivated and supported me as my superior, I have no doubt Wessel-Kroeschell will inspire her peers to achieve necessary changes in Iowa policy.

Being a past educator herself, Beth is passionate about providing long-term educational support for Iowa’s youth. Her opponents might argue she is out of touch with the youth because of her age. However, my personal experiences with Wessel-Kroeschell portray just the opposite. She is an advocate for proper funding for Iowa schools to prevent tuition inflation and student debt. So to those forking out tuition money like me (be it for your own education or your child’s), Wessel-Kroeschell is your advocate.

In working with Wessel-Kroeschell, the thing that struck me most about her is her ability to connect with people. Between her fellow employees and the guests she took care of, I almost always found Wessel-Kroeschell engaging people in conversation. She values the suggestions of each and every person she comes upon. If you are like me and you are fed up with politicians who are out of touch with their community, then look no further. No other candidate will appreciate your input like Wessel-Kroeschell.

She can motivate. She will advocate. And she does appreciate. Now it is time we reciprocate.

Vote to support the top candidate for District 45: Beth Wessel-Kroeschell.
