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?

As citizens of the United States, we possess the liberty to practice our faith in the manner, time, and location that aligns with our beliefs. I am committed to collaborating with our legislative bodies to enact legislation that safeguards this essential freedom from any form of government intervention, without exception. No governor, mayor, or governing body will be permitted to curtail religious ceremonies or worship. This will remain an inviolable principle.I hold a pro-life stance, advocating for the sanctity of every life, beginning from conception. The pro-life movement, which I align with, is committed to offering essential resources to support expectant mothers in choosing life-affirming options. When elected as your Representative, I intend to allocate substantial additional resources to assist pregnant women in making choices that can save lives, such as adoption, parental assistance and guidance, and neonatal care.Agriculture is Iowa’s and America’s original industry, and its importance has never been greater. Farmers in Iowa nourish our state and nation, and the agriculture sector holds immense untapped potential if the government steps aside. We need representatives who will protect Iowa farmers and their land from an overreaching federal government that dictates what livestock they can keep or what crops they can plant. The EPA harasses our farmers by attempting to regulate the ditches on their property. As your Representative, I will collaborate with my colleagues to oppose these unconstitutional regulations and unlock the full potential of Iowa’s agriculture.

Backing Our Police, Election Integrity, 2nd Amendment, Cutting Taxes/Regulation, School Choice, Religious Freedom, Medical Freedom, Protecting Iowa Farmland

It would be good.
