State Rep. Mary Madison

Embrace this new day..

Happy Juneteenth Weekend!
It is my prayer that this weekend, the Lord will make a way for you where there seems to be no way. May He remove every obstacle standing between you and your blessings, and divinely connect you with those who will help fulfill His purpose for your life. I declare that no weapon formed against you or your family shall prosper. May the Lord be your refuge, your strength, and your protector. May He shield you from every danger, seen and unseen, and grant you peace, favor, good health, and abundant joy throughout this weekend and beyond.
Rev. Mary Madison

Happy Juneteenth!

Strong public schools build a stronger Iowa. I'm grateful for the educators, staff, students, and families who make them thrive.

Standing for Sam!

Sam N. is a Journey Level Ironworker with Local 229 who helped build San Diego. She is a skilled craftswoman, a dedicated leader and mentor within the Women’s Caucus, and a devoted family woman.

On June 3, 2026, Sam was detained by ICE and is currently scheduled for deportation on June 14, 2026. She faces being separated from her daughter, husband, and family who rely on her deeply. Now, she and her family face unexpected financial burdens, including legal expenses.

Please share and donate if you can to assist with her family’s immediate needs and the costs associated with her legal defense, a GoFundMe campaign has been setup by a tradesister who’s been in contact with the family.

In addition you can also donate to Carol Kim’s Venmo: Note: Please add “SAM” in payment notes.

All funds raised are directed to Sam.

We understand how much Sam means to our community, and we are grateful for your patience and support.

Thank you for standing with Sam!

Wonderful brunch in Ames with an incredible group of women uplifting one another while sharing great food and thoughtful conversation about the issues that matter most to our community.

Thank you to Rep. Ross Wilburn for the invitation to State Rep. Mary Madison and me. Grateful for the chance to listen, learn, and connect! 💙
