An Effective Leader for Positive Change
Dr. Jay Brown for Congress
We have big problems, and as a doctor, I feel they have been misdiagnosed. Loyalty is a good Iowa virtue, and while loyalty to our beloved country is great, loyalty to political parties is misguided. George Washington advised against even having political parties. While I’m a Democrat, my loyalties are to the people of Iowa and the country ahead of the party.
…
While I know there are bad players in the world, the vast majority of us are kind and well meaning, considerate of the feelings of others. We Iowans need to stick together, look out for each other and continue to champion our ideals of fairness and kindness. Our politicians should reflect those values.

People that don’t want to have a child should not be forced to have one. Children raised by accidental parents are going to struggle, and those unwanted kids are less likely to grow up happy and well adjusted.
Money and power have been concentrated in the hands of a few. Three people in this country have the combined wealth of 165,000,000 Americans. I don’t care what your party is; that can’t be ok.

Dr. Jay Brown on Education
Our children’s welfare is the most important determinant of our future, and their education is paramount. I want a state where every kid gets a top notch education, and can go as far in life as possible. I fear that the privatization of our schools will jeopardize that education, particularly in rural areas.
Our long term national interests are best served by leaders who are empathetic but not naive, informed but humble, and able to see that our futures are all intertwined. Unlike poker, our lives are not a “zero sum game.”
