Iowa Senate President Amy Sinclair urged lawmakers to promote civility in political discourse and enhance safety measures for elected officials following recent targeted shootings. Proposals include redacting officials’ names from public documents, reimbursing for home security systems, and issuing professional weapons permits. Lawmakers expressed concerns about safety and threats received, prompting bipartisan support for security measures. The bill to provide reimbursement for security systems was advanced unanimously by a subcommittee, with lawmakers emphasizing the need to address the broader issue of violence in politics. Security concerns have led to increased precautions at the Iowa Capitol, with some lawmakers sharing personal experiences of threats and safety risks.
