A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.

 I will work on state policies to address the illegal immigration crisis. 

I believe in supporting law enforcement, and ensuring they have the necessary tools to keep criminals off the streets, as this is essential for maintaining safety and order.

I will fight inflation by controlling government spending and lowering the tax burden. 

 I believe this is crucial for making our hard-earned dollars go further and alleviating the real stress that inflation places on working-class families. 

 I will work to create new jobs and career opportunities in our area. 

I believe in the importance of trades and small businesses, as my own experience in the trades has shown me how vital these jobs are to our communities.

 I will advocate for protecting the right to direct the upbringing of one’s children in the Iowa State Constitution. 

I believe this right is fundamental and should not be infringed upon, as families need to make decisions that best suit their values and beliefs. 

 I support the Heartbeat Bill in Iowa and firmly believe that all life is a precious gift to be valued and protected.

I believe this legislation will continue to protect the most vulnerable among us and hope it will inspire similar measures nationwide.

 I stand behind the repeal of the federal Respect for Marriage Act that protects same-sex marriages. 

I believe in the importance of traditional marriage and feel that states should have the authority to define marriage according to their values and beliefs.
