As the CEO of Goodwill of Central Iowa, Jackie worked to raise wages to at least $15 per hour for hundreds of employees.&nbsp; Jackie’s work ethic was instilled in her by her dad, who was a public school history teacher and her mom, who was a school nurse. The example they set, including taking on second jobs to support their family, gave Jackie the grit to never back down from a challenge.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/35da0dfe-dee3-4daf-b19b-1e7f2a41b51c/273a78d0-14fd-4aff-bed7-58e7e981123d/17ae2f60-f058-431b-8d71-333033f774cd.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=342%2C60%2C3662%2C2495&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="42.5" variant="framed"><h3>Commitment to Service.</h3>Jackie came to Iowa in 1998 to help elect Tom Vilsack, the first Democratic governor to be elected in the state in 30 years. After Vilsack was elected, Jackie became a high school government teacher, taking her first job teaching in Perry, and later in Ames and Johnston. Those years spent teaching in rural and urban schools reaffirmed Jackie’s belief that all kids, no matter their location, deserved a world class education.&nbsp; “I loved having Jackie as a government teacher…She always treated me with so much respect and kindness. When I became a history teacher myself, I wanted to emulate Jackie Norris.” - Rebecca, Jackie’s former student Her commitment to public service led her to work under both Democratic and Republican presidents. Jackie served as Chief of Staff to Michelle Obama in the White House championing efforts to make kids healthier and supporting military spouses. She later launched the Corporate Institute at President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light organization, where she built out volunteerism at companies across the United States.<h3>Bucking the Status Quo.&nbsp;</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/35da0dfe-dee3-4daf-b19b-1e7f2a41b51c/ca33d33f-5e2b-4426-97c9-8373644dbd10/20793f7e-a5b0-4d75-9162-b5a6fa661712.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=449%2C262%2C3337%2C2810&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" variant="framed">Jackie went to work for Goodwill, overseeing their central Iowa operations across 12 counties. While there, she standardized the minimum wage to $15/hour, raising wages for hundreds of Goodwill employees in Iowa. It was also at this time, as her sons entered high school, that Jackie got involved with the local school board. She ran and won a seat, quickly becoming an effective leader fighting to close gaps in learning loss and ensure students have mental health support they need.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As chair of the school board, Jackie led the district with a plan to implement phone-free schools, after a pilot program run by teachers and administrators at Hoover High School, on Des Moines’ north side, demonstrated significant improvements in attention, learning, and mental health. Citing the success of the Des Moines initiative, a similar program was later adopted by Governor Kim Reynolds to improve academic outcomes statewide.&nbsp; Jackie and her husband, John, have raised three boys.

She’s worked with business, non-profit, and government leaders – her focus is always on problem solving, not partisanship. That’s what it will take to ensure we have stronger schools, affordable and accessible healthcare, and an economy that works for everyone – not just the rich and well connected. "Hard work should lead to stability, not stress, and no one working full time should live in poverty or be unable to afford to feed their children and pay for housing." - Jackie Jackie believes that our public schools need to put every kid on a path to success, whether that’s preparing them for college, a career straight out of high school, or military service. Jackie sees a rapidly growing crisis in our healthcare system–particularly in small town Iowa, where clinics have already been shrinking and closing at an alarming rate, and new Medicaid cuts will make it even harder to access care healthcare for more than 100,000 Iowans.&nbsp; At the same time, inflation is not going away: grocery prices are high, homes are unattainable, the price of new and used cars is out of control, and our utility bills keep increasing. Wages simply aren’t keeping up. And the economic games in Washington – on again, off again tariffs that are driving costs up and creating uncertainty for farmers and small business owners, as well as tax cuts that benefit people who are already rich – are hurting Iowans.&nbsp; Throughout her entire life, Jackie has worked to question the status quo and push through change that makes life better for the people she’s served – whether school kids, Iowa workers, or individuals with disabilities. She’ll take that same fight to the U.S. Senate.

Des Moines, IA – Today, Des Moines School Board chair Jackie Norris announced that she is running to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate. Jackie Norris is a small business owner, former teacher, and military mom who’s spent her life bucking the status quo and putting in the hard work to get things done for the people she’s served. Now, she’s running for Senate to make sure Iowa families have a fair shot to get ahead with stronger public schools, affordable and accessible healthcare, and an economy that works for everyone – not just the rich and well connected.“As a teacher and a school board member, you see the invisible burdens that Iowa families are carrying. Right now, too many families can’t afford to put food on the table and make ends meet. We have to find a way to make things more affordable for families,” said Jackie Norris. “Red versus blue isn’t fixing anything. Iowa needs a Senator who doesn’t just talk tough but rolls up their sleeves, and has the grit and experience to actually get something done.” Service, never backing down from a fight, and making sure everyone has a fair shot have been the guiding principles of Jackie’s career. It’s what led her to teaching where she spent years in Perry, Johnston, and Ames inspiring the next generation of Iowans. In 2021, she began serving on the Des Moines School Board where she protected Iowa kids by leading the charge to limit cell phone use in the classroom – improving students’ mental health and academic success. Citing the success of the Des Moines initiative, a similar program was later adopted by Governor Kim Reynolds to improve academic outcomes statewide.

Des Moines, IA – Today, Jackie Norris, candidate for U.S. Senate, issued the following statement on news reports that Senator Ernst will not seek reelection.“Joni Ernst is seeing the writing on the wall that Iowans are ready for change. Republicans’ destructive and unpopular agenda has failed Iowans and we are paying the price for Joni Ernst’s votes to slash Medicaid and health care, raise housing and energy costs and explode the deficit, to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires. I’m a military mom on a mission with a record of bucking the status quo to get results for Iowa kids and families. I’m ready to defeat any Republican to ensure Iowa has a leader in the Senate who will make sure Iowa families have a fair shot to get ahead with stronger public schools, affordable and accessible healthcare, and an economy that works for everyone.” ###&nbsp;

JACKIE NORRIS STATEMENT ON REPORTS THAT SENATOR ERNST WILL NOT SEEK REELECTION

Des Moines, IA – Last night, Republican-controlled Congress shut down the federal government over Republicans’ refusal to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, which will result in health care premiums doubling for tens of thousands of Iowans. In response, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Jackie Norris released the following response:&nbsp; “Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. It’s the responsibility of my opponent Ashley Hinson and her party to keep the government open. Instead, they’re shutting down the government all to force healthcare premiums to double for tens of thousands of Iowans.&nbsp; “Earlier this summer, Ashley Hinson had a chance to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits to avert rate hikes which will send health care costs soaring. Instead, she voted to gut Medicaid to give tax cuts to the richest Americans and make life even more expensive for everyday Iowa families. As a result, her votes are raising our health care, housing and energy costs, shutting down rural hospitals, and eliminating funding mental health care for our kids. Ashley Hinson simply is not serving Iowa.” ###

JACKIE NORRIS STATEMENT ON ASHLEY HINSON SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT

After thoughtful consideration, I have decided that I will n​o longer be a candidate for the U.S. Senate in the Democratic primary.The most important thing to me is that Iowa elects a Democratic U.S. Senator who will put Iowans, and our state, first. Because in this moment we need a voice in Washington who will serve as a check on this President, and is focused on delivering for our families.&nbsp;The recent Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent crisis demanded my full attention as Board Chair and, overnight, put the School Board, our community, and me personally in the crosshairs of vicious and coordinated attacks. Those realities took time and oxygen away from the work I set out to do: stand up for our kids and families — and the backbone of our communities, their educators and caregivers.As Chair of the School Board, we stepped up and are bringing accountability—leading with grace, transparency, and resolve. To that end, it’s clear I need to focus on the work at hand: leading the board through this transition, working to support the passage of the Reimagining Education bond, and fully participating in ongoing investigations to get the answers our community deserves.I ​am deeply grateful to all of the supporters and friends who have been steadfast in their support. I will keep fighting for a better politics. I believe people will trust government again when politicians put people over a party label and get things done. I leave this race with my head high, and I’ll continue serving my community and doing everything I can to help Democrats win this seat.
