Legislator Has Worked to Advance Early Learning in Iowa September 7, 2022 – Today, Save the Children Action Network, a leading political voice for children, endorsed Representative Jon Dunwell (R) for reelection for his proven record of fighting to advance learning opportunities and prevent child hunger.  “Save the Children Action Network is proud to endorse Representative Jon Dunwell for reelection due to his work in support of policies that help Iowa’s children thrive. Recently, Jon opposed potentially harmful legislation that would reduce the quality of child care in Iowa. With Dunwell’s reelection, Iowa’s parents will continue to have a lawmaker who recognizes the critical importance of high-quality child care and early learning,” said Save the Children Action Network’s Iowa Manager E.J. Wallace.   Rep. Jon Dunwell, a Republican, is running for reelection in House District 38. Jon Dunwell’s (R- IA House District 38) Record:
