Erin Helleso, a longtime Grimes resident, proud mother of six and Licensed Independent Social Worker running for Iowa House District 46

Experience you can trust

I’m running to represent my neighbors in Iowa House District 46 because our state government can do better for children and families today.

As a small business owner and 20-year resident of Grimes, I know how disorganized government hurts Iowans. I know what it takes to fix Iowa’s broken systems, especially Medicaid and healthcare.

With your support, we can make laws rooted in care, honesty, and common sense.

House District 46

Iowans want practical public policy that respects hard work and common sense.

My neighbors deserve a representative who understands how state systems affect their lives. In my blue-collar household, we see both the harm caused by broken systems and the extraordinary dedication of the professionals working within them.

I know how to fight for systems and policies rooted in compassion and accountability. I’m ready to work with everyone to get things done, creating a future where families are supported long before they reach crisis.
