Iowa Families Are Winning Again Under President Trump’s Leadership

As President Donald J. Trump visits Iowa today, he returns to a state that is clearly winning again under his leadership — even as work remains to fully reverse the economic damage of the Biden years. President Trump will not rest until every American is better off than ever before, yet meaningful relief is already reaching Iowans through sharply lower gas prices, robust economic growth, improving home affordability, tax savings, and policies that put working families first.

Iowans are clearly better off under President Trump and Republican leadership:

• Iowa’s average gas price stands at $2.56 per gallon, with some stations even offering gas under $2 per gallon — down 46% from its record Biden-era high.
  • Diesel prices have also dropped sharply, down 37% from their record Biden-era high.
  • Midwestern gas prices remain at their lowest since early 2021.
• Iowa’s economy is roaring ahead, with strong GDP growth outpacing the national average, fueled by agriculture, manufacturing, and smart policies.
• The average Iowa family is saving $3,139 on taxes this year thanks to President Trump’s landmark Working Families Tax Cuts.
  • Iowans stand to see wages rise by up to $6,100 per person over the next several years.
  • 66,000 Iowa jobs will be protected in the coming years under these tax reforms.
  • Iowa is receiving an investment of more than $209 million in rural health care thanks to Republicans — strengthening communities across the state.
• Home affordability is improving, with the median price of an Iowa home down 3.5% from last year — and trending lower.
• Iowa ranks among the top 10 for the lowest average electricity prices nationwide, delivering reliable, affordable power to homes and businesses.
• Iowa proudly remains the nation’s top producer of ethanol and biodiesel, benefiting from energy policies that support farmers and keep costs down.
