On November 2, the Iowa Dental Political Action Committee (IDPAC) hosted a fundraiser for Speaker of the House Pat Grassley (pictured, left, signing
SF621, the redistricting bill, with IDA contract lobbyist Sara Allen) in his legislative district at Fox Ridge Golf Course in Dike. Various IDA members attended and took advantage of the chance to speak with the top member of the House about a wide variety of dental issues, including the current state of Iowa’s dental Medicaid program and the need for increased rates within the program.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and/or contribute to help make this fundraiser happen. It was a great opportunity for IDA members to establish a strong relationship with a key legislator in Iowa.
