Emma Bouza of Hawarden has officially announced candidacy for Iowa State Representative House District 3. Her campaign says she has a steadfast commitment to education and disability rights. It says Bouza “brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the forefront of District 3 and the State of Iowa’s political landscape.”

Her campaign says she has served on numerous boards and councils the last several years including the Hawarden Regional Healthcare Board of Directors, Iowa Developmental Disability Council, Governor’s Early ACCESS Council, the Child Health Specialty Clinic Family Advisory Council, the Hawarden Area Arts Council, and the Hawarden Chamber Retail Committee.
Bouza says that as a parent of a child with disabilities, she has a proven track record of advocacy for her own child, along with all individuals with disabilities. She says she is the founder of Ruby’s Red Bags, which is a project that supplies sensory bags to first responder vehicles so emergency responders are better equipped to help those with disabilities in an emergency situation.
