Like you, I am upset with the unsustainable levels of spending that has led to a record one billion dollar Iowa deficit.  Iowans are facing significant property tax increases and a budget that does not reflect the true priorities of Iowans.  Poor decisions by Keith Kreiman and other legislators have put Iowa in a difficult financial position. Companies are making the decision to locate their businesses outside of Iowa due to unreasonable tax structures and excessive regulation.  As your senator, I will only vote for a responsible and fiscally sustainable budget that reflects your priorities and keeps our taxes low. 

I have given running for office a lot of thought and feel it is my duty as a Father, Husband and Iowan to do everything in my power to bring fiscal responsibility to Des Moines.

As an entrepreneur and creator of a manufacturing business, I have experience in business development, job creation and financial management.  I am running as a Republican and will stand firm on minimizing government, adherence to the Iowa Constitution and focusing on finding new ways for entrepreneurs like me to create private sector jobs so we can grow our state.   We should stop punishing the business people and their investors for believing in the great state of Iowa.

I am honored to have the support of Senate Republican Leader, Paul McKinley and Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley.

I appreciate your support both personally and if possible, financially.
