Community service, finance, land management, defender of Iowa's Public Retirement System (IPERS). Kayaker & traveler. Candidate for State Treasurer of Iowa.
Iowa's current state treasurer is nearly invisible. Most Iowans don't know who he is.
If I'm elected as state treasurer, I will be visible. I will speak out. I will work with the Governor & legislature to find solutions to the state's $1 billion+ structural deficit.

Iowan "nice" is a real thing! I'm greeted with warm hospitality and smiles as I zigzag the state. Quickly approaching the final 45 days of the campaign.

Pups we've met campaigning! ♥
When my opponent was a state senator, he went to bat for a kennel operator that was , “supposed to be shut down due to a license suspension triggered by a series of serious regulatory violations”. Punishment was even reduced.

I am honored to have retired State Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald's endorsement. It is not something he gives lightly. For 40 years, Mike committed his life to public service, earning the respect of ALL Iowans. He set the standard for what a State Treasurer should be. I intend to follow in his footsteps.

The midterms are in about 100 days. Iowa's budget is a mess. The state is facing a $1 billion structural deficit. Plus, the public employee's retirement system is at risk of being weakened or privatize by a GOP-lead DOGE Report. Join my movement!

2. Transparent budget
3. Govt accountability
► Unlike my opponent, I won't hide behind a desk.

The office of the state treasurer should not be about red or blue. As Iowa's next treasurer, my goal will be to protect Iowans hard earned money and defend the Iowa Employees' Retirement System (IPERS) from any attempts to weaken or privatize it. Check out video w/ audio.

Iowa Republican Governor Kim Reynolds refuses to provide details on the misconduct investigations against 2 top execs at IPERS. The GOP controlled legislature is silent.
We need answers & not secrecy for Iowa's 400,000+ members of the state's public employees retirement system.

The Iowa legislature just ended its session. Our state budget is facing a $1 billion dollar structural deficit.
This story gets very little media attention. It impacts every single resident. Current govt leaders just look the other way.

How do government leaders build trust with citizens? Start by listening to them. Understand their concerns. Put your ego aside and work with others to find common ground.
