Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Taxes - I firmly believe that allowing Iowa workers to keep as much of their paychecks as possible is not only fair, but stimulates and advances our economy. We must have a tax code that benefits all Iowans, keeps us competitive with other states, and ensures long term economic growth. I am a strong supporter of cutting taxes or potentially eliminating Iowa income taxes as a whole. I will always fight for the Iowa tax payer! Education - Education will be one of my top priorities at the capitol. Ensuring our future generations are educated at the highest possible standard is something we must always demand. We should strive to have the best schools in the nation. To do this, we must focus on strategic investments, competition, technology, and innovation within our school systems. We should always be looking at new ways to prepare our students for the 21st century economy they will soon enter.

As someone with first hand experience of pre-existing conditions within my family, I understand the importance of protecting these individuals. I will always promise to work on the behalf of them and their families. I will also promise to fight to expand and better Iowa's health care system. I will support efforts in expanding access to mental health services, allow the growth of telehealth for rural Iowa, and protect life. I will always have the health and safety of Iowan's at the forefront of every vote I cast.
