State Action: Iowa

The USGLC has a strong presence in Iowa, where the international affairs budget is essential to the local economy. Iowa is America’s second leading exporter of agricultural products, totaling $7.8 billion and supporting over 90,347 jobs in 2007. Join the USGLC in helping build a more prosperous and safer Iowa.

Despite being only 1% of the total Federal Budget, the International Affairs Budget includes programs that cover a breadth of U.S. State Department activities and other international efforts that promote global stability and provide for the security and well-being of all Americans. Read about the impact of the International Affairs Budget on Iowa with our Iowa State Fact Sheet.
