Senator Chuck Grassley visited Oskaloosa High School on Wednesday and held question & answer sessions with juniors and seniors at the high school. The visitation was part of Senator Grassley’s tour of all 99 counties in Iowa.

Senator Grassley fielded questions about how he got his start in politics, what day-to-day life in the Senate is like, and more, including a recent bill that was passed by the House of Representatives related to the social media platform, TikTok. A student asked Senator Grassley why the legislature sought to ban TikTok, a Chinese company, while simultaneously subsidizing electronic tags for cattle from China, and he said that it had to do with the information that the social media company was capable of wielding.

After the sessions, Senator Grassley thanked Oskaloosa High School for hosting the event.
