(Radio Iowa) — Iowa Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer thinks the Governor isn’t going far enough in restricting the movement of Iowans to address the coronavirus outbreak. The Democrat from Dubuque has sent a letter to the governor, asking her to issue a statewide stay at home order.

Finkenauer says she has been talking with the governor throughout this week — and decided to send her letter after talking with doctors from Dubuque — who have also sent a letter to the governor.

She says the governor feels the actions the state is taking are enough to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Finkenauer says she not only represents her district — but on the federal level has to speak for the rest of the nation — as she’s concerned that the national food supply could be hurt.

Finkenauer says she could not sit back and not say something publicly after seeing the two additional deaths in her district. The two latest COVID-19 deaths reported Friday, happened in Allamakee and Poweshiek County. The first death was reported in Dubuque County.
