Welcome to House District 38's home on the internet.  Feel free to take a few minutes to click through the site for the latest news and events from Cedar Rapids and Des Moines.  You can also find links to disaster recovery resources by clicking on the Flood 2008 tab above. 

The economic challenges facing our state and nation will focus our efforts on Iowa's priorities: helping Iowa's 87 presidentially-declared disaster counties recover and passing a balanced budget.  We will also pass a balanced budget while maintaining our commitment to education, health care and keeping Iowa a leader in the green economy.

Please contact me directly with input on pending legislation or issues you think should be on the front burner at the Capitol.  Your input allows me to better represent your interests.  The best way to reach me is by email at tyler.olson@legis.state.ia.us.

Thank you to all in the community who have pulled together and helped friends and neighbors during these trying times.  Thanks also to the many folks outside the area that have contacted me to provide help.  Recovery will be a long-term process, but together we'll make it happen.
