I will say this, out of everything that I've done, including winning gold medals and representing my country on the field of play, the greatest honor that I've ever had is representing my community in the Iowa legislature, without a doubt.
The case is that Iowans are hurting all across the state, and it's because of bad federal policy.
We are a state that is dead last for economic growth.
We're 48th for personal income growth.
We're one of two states already in an economic decline.
We're basically dead last for nearly every health care metric.
We've closed 250 more clinics than we've opened over the last 15 years.
Only state with a growing cancer rate now leading the nation in farm foreclosures because of the tariffs.
Iowans are hurting in a very, very real way.
And then you add that into the fact that this is the first time since 1968 that there's no power of incumbency, open governor's race along with an open Senate race and two open congressional races.
And this is a state that is a common sense state that in Trump's first midterm,
We win three of the four congressional races, almost win all four.
And in 2022, we're only 1.5% away from having three of our six statewide officials being Democrats.
This is a common sense state that has bottomed out, no power of incumbency, and great candidates like myself and Rob Sand with proven abilities to be able to win over independents and moderate Republicans and Iowans all over the state.
it doesn't matter urban or rural area, are ready for change.
And you've got people like Ashley Hinson that have absolutely voted to decimate the state.
She voted for 110,000 Iowans to lose their health care, thousands more to lose food assistance, 119,000 Iowans seeing their health care premiums double or triple because of her not continuing the ACA subsidies, someone that didn't support a ban on stock trading.
Meanwhile, she's become 10 times more wealthy.
someone that has supported the idea of raising the age of social security.
You could go on and on and on.
