Are you going to move to Iowa?

Then we can have like two candidates at the same time out there and just say all of them are me. Like, hey, this is Rob Sand. Where's Tommy Veeder today? No, he's the other guy in the other place.

Look, robsand.com is the place to go. You can donate. Here's my plan to win. We're going to need volunteers later, but right now we certainly want people pitching in who care about the state of Iowa, who want to see us break the trifecta here. Plan to win? Letting people know who I am. My plan has always been do what I was told to do when I was growing up. Be yourself.

I do 100 town halls every single year. They are advanced notice to the public so that everyone can come. Everyone can ask me questions and get answers from me. We're going to do those again. I like to do 100 because for those who really know your Iowa geography, I do every county seat and Lee County has two county seats.

So while most elected officials in Iowa do the 99-county tour because I'm competitive and I like bad jokes, I like to say, well, I do 100 town halls and that way I'm the hardest working elected official in the state of Iowa, which is kind of fun. But I'm going to be out there. I'm going to talk to people because I thought that's what democracy was about. Sorry if I misunderstood.

I thought you're supposed to literally go meet people and say, hey, how are you, and listen to them and answer their questions. I think that that works because I've been doing it so far and it's been working for me.

Thanks, Tommy. That's really nice of you. I appreciate that. Of course. I'll tell one little story about that. Because I think that everybody, all of us, whether we're running for office or not, we tell ourselves stories about ourselves. And sometimes they're accurate and sometimes they're not. But in 2022, I had a physical reaction to something that helped me understand actually why I do this.

And it's not for me on election night. My reelection was super close. So we had an hour and a half where we were like, Ooh, on pins and needles. And then we had a half an hour where we were like, it's over, we lost. And for that half an hour, I felt great. I felt fantastic. I was like, I'm free. I'm free. And it made me realize like I had a physical, I felt three inches taller.

I felt like lighter. All the weight was off of my shoulders. And that reaction literally helped me realize like, no, I think I should be glad that I won because half an hour later when the weight came back, I wasn't honestly happy about it.

But it did make me realize I should be happy that I won and I should keep trying because that reaction to me told me like, no, I know I'm not doing this for me. I know I'm doing it to try to make a difference. And you can't fake it. that kind of feeling. So I appreciate you feeling that way too.
