Issue Position
Iowa’s agriculture industry is not just a job but a way of life. The agriculture industry in Iowa employs more than 315,000 Iowans, contributes $17.5 billion in wages, and makes up $88.3 billion in our economy. Like many Iowans, I spent time helping out at our family’s century farm growing sheep, poultry, and row crop.
Iowa truly feeds and fuels the entire world. That’s why we must support the many farmers, producers, and consumers of our Iowa agriculture products. As a Member of the Agriculture Committee, I’m working to ensure that Iowans have a voice to impact federal agriculture policy.
To that end, I’m working to ensure our country has free and fair trade for our farmers, as well as making sure our farmland is protected. In recent years, bad actors like China have attempted to steal our farmland, trade secrets, and intellectual property. Iowa farmland should belong to Iowa farmers, and that’s why I’m fighting to ban China from buying farmland nationwide.
I’m also fighting for permanent, year-round E15 ethanol. With gas prices high and input costs for farmers through the roof, E15 is a low-cost, low-carbon choice to strengthen the biofuels markets and lower costs for consumers.
Additionally, in the past, burdensome regulations have made it hard for farmers to have control over their own operations. From weight limits on federal highways to burdensome regulation of private land, we need to get government out of the way so our farmers can prosper.

Issue Position
As an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force, I’ve seen the threats our country faces firsthand. Keeping our country safe starts with strengthening our national defense, supporting our veterans, and securing our border.
While I served our country as an airborne intelligence officer, I flew reconnaissance missions off the coasts of Russia and China. After 9/11, I deployed three times to the Middle East and flew over 700 combat hours. I also served as Director of Cybersecurity at the White House’s National Security Council combating cyber-attacks from foreign adversaries. Through these jobs, I've learned firsthand that battlefields are just as likely to be digital as physical. As a result, we must provide adequate training to U.S. national security personnel and support innovative technology to counter cyber attacks. As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, this also includes protecting our financial institutions and digital assets.
Another important component of ensuring our country is safe is improved border security. We have a humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border with apprehensions and crime happening at levels we’ve never seen before. The border needs to be secured, and we need to prioritize this now before crime gets worse. We can secure our border while also prioritizing legal immigration reform.
Finally, we also must support those who have put their life on the line to serve. In Congress, I’m working to prioritize access to veteran health benefits, better resources for mental health, and assistance to help military families. I will always support America’s veterans.
The bottom line is that a safe nation is a strong nation, so I will keep fighting in Congress to prioritize our national defense, veterans, and border security.

Issue Position
In order for all Iowans to truly prosper, we need to have a strong economy. The most important issue I hear from Iowans is ensuring stability when it comes to everyday issues – having access to a good paying job to put food on the table, filling up gas tanks, and affording college or retirement savings. Recently, an impediment to economic growth has been 40-year high inflation rates that have been crushing Americans. We’ve had to pay $10,000 in extra inflation money so far just to pay for the same necessities.
While in Congress, one of my main priorities is to bring down inflation to get our economy moving again. This can be fixed, and it’s why I’ve voted on bills to rein in inflation. We need to bring down the massive government spending, which is not coincidentally also at decade highs. That’s why my first bill I introduced was a bill to balance the federal budget. If Iowans have to balance our budgets not to spend more than we take in, so should the government.
Another economic prioritiy is supporting Iowa’s many small businesses. Our small businesses make up 99% of businesses in Iowa, with many of them being rural. Many of the barriers small businesses face are finding labor, fighting government regulation, and keeping up with the rising costs of goods. Unfortunately, D.C. bureaucrats have added needless regulations on our businesses. I will never stop fighting D.C.-centric regulations that cause costly barriers for Iowans. We must get back to policies that promote a growing and thriving economy.
Finally, when it comes to strengthening the economy, we must cut taxes for Iowans. The more money that stays in our pocketbooks, the more direct investments that are made into our communities, small businesses, and economy. To get our economy back on track, I am a big proponent of finding ways to cut taxes, cut regulations, and cut government spending in areas that it makes sense.

Issue Position
Our country is only as strong as our families, kids, and seniors. That’s why I’m working on policies to improve education opportunities, support foster services, improve community safety, and defend livelihood programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Whether in the Des Moines metro or rural Iowa, education is a top concern. We have an obligation to support our kids, which means ensuring public education is meeting the needs of every single child. In the case that every child’s needs aren’t being met, we should be able to provide options for parents to look at when deciding the best fit for their child. Educational success should not be dictated by zip code and there is no one-size-fits-all for education, which is why I support parents having a strong say in their own child’s education. In Congress, I’ll fight to put parents and kids first.
My wife and I are blessed to have 6 children with 2 of our children being foster children who we’ve now adopted. Every single child is deserving of a good shot at life, which is why I’m working in Congress to improve our nation’s foster and adoptive services. I’m honored to serve as a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth, which works to connect foster and adoptive services with willing and eager families. I’m also working to help ease the regulatory burdens on adoptive and fosters services and families, making this a simpler option for families.
Additionally, in order to have a prosperous country, we must also have safe communities for our families. To that end, we must support our law enforcement and give them the proper training needed to do their job. We also need to work on reforming our criminal justice system. With domestic violence cases on the rise, human trafficking more prevalent, and gang violence peaking across the country, we can do more to stop these heinous crimes. I worked in the Iowa Statehouse to protect victims of domestic violence, stop human trafficking, and address mental health issues. I’m working to bring these commonsense ideas to Washington, D.C.
Finally, when it comes to supporting our community’s seniors, nothing is more important than ensuring that a lifetime of earned benefits are still intact for retirement and future retirees. That’s why I will defend Social Security and Medicare in Congress. I strongly oppose cuts to these programs. Along with defending promised programs, we should be looking at ways to lower the cost of prescription drugs because having affordable health care is critically important for every Iowan.

Issue Position
The main goal of a public servant should be putting service first. My entire life, I’ve strived to put service before self. I served our country on the battlefield with almost two decades in the United States Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve. I served our state in both the Iowa House and Iowa Senate, working to lower taxes and balance our budget to return money to Iowans. Now in Congress, I’m working to bring some Iowa commonsense to our nation’s capitol.
Since my first day in Congress, I’ve been introducing bills aimed at government oversight and accountability. Government has gotten too big, and politicians have gotten too greedy. On Day 1, I voted to end a covid-era rule in the House that permitted Members of Congress not to show up to work for their constituents. We now show up to do the job we were sent to do, have bipartisan discussions, and get meaningful legislation passed in person.
Moreover, I support term limits to make sure good ideas are always cycling though D.C., and I’ve introduced legislation to end automatic pay raises for Congress. If Iowans are pinching pennies, Members of Congress shouldn’t be getting an extra $7,000+ in raises year after year. Service is about people, not profit.
I’ve also been working to get accountability for the American people, especially when it comes to failures like the military withdrawal from Afghanistan that caused 13 American servicemembers to lose their life. As a combat veteran with tours in Afghanistan, I cannot stand by and watch Americans, Afghan allies, and millions of dollars of military equipment be left behind with no consequences. The volatility of our withdrawal caused Afghanistan to fall quickly, and since then, many other aggressors around the world like China and Russia have taken notice of the lack of leadership from our country. That’s why I’m fighting to ensure a disaster like this never happens again, while also working to get every single American and ally that was left behind get out of Afghanistan.
Finally, I am working to eliminate corruption in our federal government. For example, I introduced a bill to ban congressional stock trading for Members of Congress and their spouses to ensure people are put over profits. Nearly 100 Members of Congress have violated stock trading laws, which is unacceptable. Banning stock trading by Members of Congress is a commonsense way to ensure public service is about serving people.
The bottom line is that Iowans should have open, transparent, and honest representation without conflicts of interest getting in the way. This isn’t a partisan issue—this is a way to stop corruption in politics that has unfortunately become all too common.
