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?

Lowering and flattening tax rates - Iowa needs to be able to attract talent to the state. New and native Iowans (like me) need to be able to come home to start families and businesses. This begins with lower and competitive state taxes and returning unused revenue back to hard working Iowans.School choice for all Iowans - Parents deserve to have a voice in their children’s education. After observing the Waukee School District as a board member for the last two years, I know Iowa needs to support school choice so all Iowa families can make the best education decision for their children.Protecting individual freedoms - No government should be mandating what we put in our bodies or what we wear on our faces. I will fight to protect our God given rights. This includes protecting the rights of the unborn. The Constitution doesn’t grant us freedoms; it prohibits government from taking them.
