Big news! We just launched the first tv ad of the general election. And the message is simple: stealing is bad, and if you steal tax dollars, you should go to jail. Pretty basic.

Growing up in Decorah, I got to enjoy the Upper Iowa River, but now Iowans are getting sick from our water.
My Healthier Iowa for All plan works to address that and give Iowans the information they need to make informed decisions. Iowans deserve better than what we're getting from our current leaders. apnews.com/article/iowa-wate…

Knocking doors is a wonderful way to get to know Iowans and win support for a new direction at the same time. My sister was out there, hope you’ll join her!

I've always said it; there is no place for waste, fraud, and abuse in Iowa.
I even want to make jail time mandatory for those who violate their positions of public trust.

When PBMs aren’t following the rules, Iowans pay the price. And when they hide their records, common sense says they aren’t following the rules. bit.ly/4vOjw4Y

My Priorities:
Grow the Economy - Building Iowa businesses up so that everyone succeeds.
Strengthen Public Education - Because 90% of Iowa kids go to public school.
Lower Costs - So Iowa families can afford groceries, health care, and gas.
Help Iowans Live Better, Healthier Lives - To improve our quality of life.

As State Auditor, I'm a numbers guy. For example, 3:1.
Our campaign has 3 Republican donors for every 1 my Republican opponent has.
Iowans across the political divide are supporting this campaign because they know me and know I'm not going to play politics. I just want to do whats right for Iowa families.

Our budget is a mess. My opponent has no plan to fix it.
My plan: No more reckless spending. It's time to stop the give aways to insiders & start investing in Iowa's future. bit.ly/4oiAZ2J

This morning Iowans across the state are waking up to flooding and extensive damage to homes & property from last night's storms.
Let's come together as Iowans to help our communities across the state.

Glad to have picked up two new mini bottles of sanitizer so I can refill the one that makes me laugh every time I look at it.

Iowa's voucher program has been funneling YOUR taxpayer dollars out of our public schools with zero oversight or accountability.
I'm not asking for much, just audits, oversight, and income limits.

Watched this and assumed it was a pro Rob Sand post. Why would @ZachLahn post this? Is twitter new in Kansas?
🚨 WATCH: Rob Sand gets brutally fact checked by PBS after lying about Zach Lahn living in Kansas:
"For Iowans watching who may not know, we're talking about Zach Lahn flying between Iowa and Kansas, where he and his wife have children who are based."

This is so sad.
Thanks to @millermeeks’ Medicaid cuts, women in Clinton County will now have to travel out of county for labor and delivery services.
This puts lives at risk and makes it harder for Iowans to get the care they deserve.

It should always be a priority to save tax dollars, but Reynolds needs to show us the math. There must be accountability and transparency for the hundreds of workers out of a job, and Iowans deserve answers to questions on data security and what guarantees have been made to ensure jobs aren’t shipped overseas.

The Iowa GOP nominee really spending the start of general election freaking out as if he didn't literally only re-register to vote in Iowa in 2024 just in time to run for gov and voted in Kansas in 2022, 2020 and 2018...
This is a complete lie.
I'm a 6th generation Iowan living on the same farm that's been in our family for 125 years.
I never said anything like this. Notice there's no quote? It's because they don't have one. I didn't say it.
The paper's already made two corrections to this garbage story.
By the time our lawyers get finished, we expect a third.
Here's the thing:
Rob Sand claims to be a different kind of politician, but he started this campaign by lying about me and my children in a deeply personal way.
Meanwhile, Rob thinks every illegal deserves a place in Iowa. But our family isn't Iowa enough for him?
Now you know everything there is to know about who we're really up against in this campaign.
Buckle up.

Next week we'll be back on the road for my annual 100 Town Hall Tour, kicking it off in my hometown, Decorah.
Yes, I will be getting Mabe's again. No, you cannot stop me. Hope to see you there!
