State Senator Mark Lofgren recapped the first week of the 2026 legislative session at the Iowa Capitol.
Lawmakers convened last week for the start of the second session of the Iowa Legislature, including swearing-in ceremonies and remarks from Governor Kim Reynolds, legislative leaders, and the Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice.
Lofgren highlighted recent policy outcomes, including improvements in school performance and attendance, economic growth rankings, and a record-low number of traffic fatalities in Iowa last year.
Looking ahead, property tax reform is expected to be a major topic this session, as lawmakers work on proposals aimed at easing the burden on homeowners and businesses.
Lofgren says he looks forward to continued work on behalf of Senate District Forty-Eight and encourages constituents to stay engaged. View the full recap of Senator Lofgren’s legislative update here.
