Our Primary Goal
STAR✦PAC’s primary goal is to raise war and peace issues in anticipation of the local, state, and federal elections. The process provides an extraordinary opportunity for voters to affect not only WHO represents them, but WHAT policies and positions the candidates commit to as they meet voters.
Iowa historically has had a strong international perspective, in both major parties. (People attribute that to various historical factors, such as Iowa’s long reliance on international trade, our multi-national ethnic heritage, pacifist and other faith traditions, and Iowans who have been giants in espousing cooperative approaches in U.S. foreign policy – including Herbert Hoover, Henry Wallace, Sen. Harold Hughes, Gov. Bob Ray and hospitality for refugees, and Sen. Tom Harkin.) STAR✦PAC seeks to continue and strengthen that tradition.
