State Rep. Jeneary reflects on time in Iowa Legislature
State representative Tom Jeneary, a Republican from Le Mars representing District 3, took part in his final session as a state legislator last weekend after the adjournment of the Iowa Legislature for 2026. Speaking to KLEM, Jeneary reflected on his time in the Iowa House of Representatives.
Jeneary has served in the House since 2019, previously serving as chair of the Natural Resources committee and serving on the Environmental Protection, Health and Human Services, Labor and Workforce, State Government, and Transportation committees. During his time in the Iowa House, Jeneary led efforts to improve the Iowa dental industry and expand quality dental services for Iowans. He says one of the most notable moments during his time in office was the passing of Iowa’s “fetal heartbeat” law.
Jeneary says working to increase funding for juvenile detention centers was another highlight of his tenure.
He says he’ll miss working with fellow representatives on the floor in Des Moines.
Jeneary’s term will formally expire on January 1st, 2027.
