A state government reform advocate says office holders need to restore voters confidence. John Narcisse is with An Iowa Worth Fighting For. He says voters feel betrayed which is why voter turnout has been trending downward. He says candidates need to provide solid plans to fix governmental problems and made good on such plans and promises.
