LANDLORDS OF IOWA 2024 DAY ON THE HILL

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27

We will have a morning "rally" meeting in room 304 at 9:00, February 27, to organize our message and answer any questions you may have.

Stay in Room 304 for a meet and greet with sponsoring legislators. Then disperse to lobby our respective local Representatives and Senators. It’s a good idea to let your Senator and House member know that you are coming to the Capitol. You might ask them what time would work best for a brief meeting with you.

Then a wrap up meeting at a down town watering hole (the Iowa Tap Room located at 215 E 3rd street, Des Moines) before people leave town.

If you want to carpool, please contact us through Messenger.

This ‘Day on the Hill’ gives Iowa Landlords a chance to visit face to face with lawmakers from their home districts on the legislator’s turf. The commitment that is demonstrated by a Landlord taking time to travel to the Capitol and visit in person with their representative is unmatched in results.
