I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids and currently live in West Des Moines with my two (adorable) dogs Cricket and Lark. Whenever possible, I love to spend as much time as I can with friends and family. I have also enjoyed volunteering with local political campaigns to canvass and connect with organizations to help candidates. As of June 1, 2019 I am a graduate of the inaugural Emerge Iowa Training program (where I was recruited and educated about the ins and outs of running for office). Throughout my life, I have always been a justice seeker and believe every person deserves fair representation. After having lived across the country, I can wholeheartedly say that we have something unique in Iowa. I will help ensure equal and fair legislation to advance the goodness for all versus a select few. I firmly believe it is important to have diversity represented in our legislature to drive innovation and have an equal gender voice at the table. I would be honored to represent YOU in district 22!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7b5c3ea7efa22f5fa04dbb/1585152406044-LTKWTCR7E6806KZ5N57M/IMG_9749.jpg About Tricia - A native Iowan with diverse leadership experience. I am an integrated marketing manager with leadership experience in the areas of strategic planning, consulting and communications. My career has given me the opportunity to work in corporate, government and start-up organizations to research, understand and communicate about large, complex issues to diverse audiences. Of relevant importance, I was the Marketing Division Manager for Allstate Insurance Corporation’s northwest region, supported business transformation at the U.S. Department of Defense and managed marketing and communications efforts for acquisition programs at the U.S. Coast Guard. I have had the opportunity to manage people, organizations, committees, and budgets. I truly enjoy using my natural ability to work with many different types of personalities and across multiple layers of approval to reach successful outcomes. Currently, I am a product marketing manager providing credit unions with the latest technology to strengthen member connections and propel growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7b5c3ea7efa22f5fa04dbb/1585153921390-UUHW77PPIXNY93J6XMK4/IMG_0602%2B%25281%2529.jpg About Tricia 1999 Iowa high school girls state golf champs (with my sister Megan). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7b5c3ea7efa22f5fa04dbb/1585153872329-QKSOLCH79T0LBF0K59FQ/IMG_0362+%281%29.JPG About Tricia Speaking at a fundraiser in my hometown of Cedar Rapids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7b5c3ea7efa22f5fa04dbb/1585154022882-U0WANOW4ME6Q098O80JJ/IMG_9778.jpg About Tricia My new favorite sport: door knocking.

If you live in Waukee, parts of West Des Moines, Clive or Windsor Heights then you are part of senate district 22. Below is a map to show the district boundaries which straddle both Dallas and Polk Counties. Visit this LINK for a PDF to zoom in more closely. “It’s not uncommon to be unfamiliar with the role of a state senator or know the boundaries of your district. However, we have a duty to become educated to empower ourselves to get involved on a local level. We’ve got this!“ As citizens, it is important to understand why it is critical to get involved with your time, money and votes when it comes to local politics, no matter how big or small the race. Your votes should include primaries and midterms for races such as school board, city council and state house and senate seats. All elections and all votes matter. “I have heard over the years ‘but my vote won’t count.’ It will! Many local primary and general elections are won or lost by only a few votes. We need you. Your voice matters.“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7b5c3ea7efa22f5fa04dbb/1585160150910-0AR1YFXT52784D545A5Y/Tricia+Filing.jpg Our District - What does a State Senator do? “Did you know… that out of 50 Iowa state senators, only 11 are female? That is only 22% females compared to 78% males. It’s time for more gender equality in the state capitol.“ In Iowa, we have 50 senators who live in the state and are paid $25,000 per year to represent their districts. Each district has approximately 60,000 residents. There are currently 18 Democratic and 32 Republican senators. Of those, there are only 11 women — six Democrats and five Republicans. State senators focus on issues pertaining to the state of Iowa and represent the concerns of the constituents in their district. Locally, state senators and house representatives are working on the best ways to allocate funding and support issues such as: Public Welfare Education Healthcare Police/Corrections Infrastructure https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/news-room daily 0.75 2020-04-07 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/covid-19-resources daily 0.75 2020-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7b5c3ea7efa22f5fa04dbb/1587366321274-VDIXVO5C4WU7WQ5YIXF7/TriciaStilwellVolunteer.jpg COVID-19 Resources Tricia recently volunteered for Stilwell Junior High and delivered meals to kids in the community, making sure people in need stay fed! https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/checking-in daily 0.75 2020-04-02 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/error-404 daily 0.75 2020-11-21 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/voter-resources daily 0.75 2020-05-27 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/may-2020-message daily 0.75 2020-05-10 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/voter-tool daily 0.75 2021-04-09 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/mobile-voter-tool daily 0.75 2020-07-21 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-03-01 https://www.triciagavinforsenate.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce595a3f224d40001927c9b/1558555950247-T4PE7MKMBIPI6BK9T6HD/image-asset.jpeg Home We leverage public and private partnerships to conserve pristine desert landscapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce595a3f224d40001927c9b/1558555966308-J634O5KG2DRMV30AR5T7/image-asset.jpeg Home Show your support through financial donations or by joining one of our activist committees.
