Local State Representative Jon Dunwell is pushing his legislative colleagues to better assist vetted refugees who come to Iowa.
The Newton Republican says each refugee gets 3-months of support from the Federal government, and that’s not enough.
Dunwell is in his second legislative session, and is the Assistant Iowa House Majority Leader. He represents House District 38, which includes all Jasper County townships except Des Moines, Fairview, Elk Creek, and Buena Vista. So he does NOT represent the communities of Prairie City and Monroe.
