Welcome Dear Friends, Welcome to the website for Iowa District 43.  It is an honor to represent the people of Marshalltown, Albion, Liscomb, Green Mountain, and the surrounding rural area in the Iowa House.  Please take a few minutes to review this website so that you can access information about our district, legislation, and other important issues. On this website you will find links to other elected officials and services in Marshalltown, Albion, Liscomb, and Green Mountain.  I want to encourage anyone interested in business opportunities to contact Joel Akason  (753-6645) at the Marshall Economic Development Improvement Committee (MEDIC) to learn more about our great communities! The 2010 legislative session will begin on January 11, 2010 and will continue during the next 80 days or so.  During that time we will be addressing important issues to create jobs for Iowans affected by the national recession, to make health care more affordable, to maintain quality education for our children, and to streamline government. If you would like to contact me there are several ways: call at 641-750-9278; or email at- msmith1@mchsi.com or mark.smith@legis.state.ia.us. If you prefer to write me, my address is: 816 Roberts Terrace, Marshalltown, 50158. Thank you for everything you do to insure that District 43 is the best place to live!
