Iowans are tired of leaders who are just in it to play politics.
This campaign is about transparency, honesty, hard work and a renewed focus on public service because that's what Iowa families deserve. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I've always said, I'll never leave my independent mind behind. Neither party has a monopoly on good ideas.
I'm focused on being a governor for ALL.

For too long, our elected officials have put politics before public service.
2026 is our chance to change direction and bring common sense back to state government.

Iowans are paying more — at the grocery store, for housing, and for utilities—while wages aren’t keeping up.
In 2025, Iowa’s economy ranked 49th, and the Trump administration ranked Iowa’s personal income growth 48th in the nation.
We need a new direction. Iowa families deserve relief.

Good schools.
Affordable health care.
A fair shot for working families.

Iowa has always worked best when leaders put people ahead of politics.
Right now, too many families feel like the system isn’t working for them.
We can do better—together.

Taking away the auditor’s power to find misspent tax dollars was universally viewed as a bad decision. We need a governor who's only going to solve problems, not create them.

Growing up, I never imagined Iowa would be next to last in economic growth, 48th in personal income growth, and fall from top 3 in education to mediocre.
2026 is the perfect time for our leaders to refocus on lowering costs, strengthening public education, and growing the economy for all Iowans.

I'm for building up our rural communities, not giving sweetheart deals on a crap shoot for jobs, because I'm focused on making Iowa better, not someone else's bottom line.

Look - it should come as no surprise: extreme & unpopular policies are causing young people to flee our state, choosing to start their careers elsewhere where they'll have access to better opportunities and where fundamental freedoms aren’t under attack. I'm running to restore balance in Iowa.
