Insights into the 2025 Legislative Session

Friday, may 2

11:45 am - 1:00 pm
in-person and virtual event
St. Paul's United Methodist Church
1340 3rd Ave SE, CEDAR RAPIDS

Presenters: Senator Art Staed (D – Cedar Rapids)
Rep. Aime Wichtendahl (D – Hiawatha)

It’s been a no good, very bad legislative session in 2025. So many bad, harmful ideas – some of which made it all the way to the Governor’s desk.

What made it all the way through? What got hung up by partisan politics or other reasons? What does Iowa’s future hold? And what is it like to be part of the legislature in these times?

Join us for the last Intersections luncheon of the season along with Senator Art Staed and Rep. Aime Wichtendahl as they share their expertise and insight from the Golden Dome.

Please note: The church is undergoing renovations for the next few months, during which time we will meet in the Gathering Space. Enter the Second Avenue doors, go up the stairs or take the elevator to the second floor. Once there, take a left and you will arrive at the Gathering Space. For those who know the building, this is across from the sanctuary.
