“United we stand, divided we fall.” The challenges we face won’t be solved by fighting each other - they’ll be solved by people willing to roll up their sleeves, have tough conversations, and get to work. There’s a lot more we can accomplish when we stop looking for enemies and start looking for solutions. United we are stronger. Divided we fall. Thank you Republican Party of Iowa for standing together to put #IowaFirst 🙌🏼

Based.
GOP lieutenant governor pick Derek "Wulf pushed to require schools to prioritize serving protein from Iowa-based products and put 'meat and Iowa-based protein back at the center of the plate.' That provision ultimately did not advance" in Iowa's "MAHA" legislation.

Today, I am proud to announce Representative Derek Wulf as my pick for Lieutenant Governor Derek has been an Iowa First fighter for years in the legislature. Whether it was leading on Right to Repair, defending private property rights, or stopping corporate overreach - Derek has been there for Iowans and I am very proud to have him partner with me on this campaign and look forward to serving with him at the Capitol.

Spent the last week at the farm spending time with family, building our team, and taking some overdue meetings. My favorite meeting was with the county conservation board who came out to the farm to help plan our creek restoration project.💧 In the 1950s my Great Grandpa Alfred straightened our creek and Uncle John told me he always regretted it. Like many of these streams in Iowa, there has been significant erosion and stream bank degradation over the years - we’ve lost a lot of soil. A couple years ago, we decided it was time to take steps to protect the soil and water by restoring the first section of Buckeye Creek. Last year, a class from Drake University came out to take water samples, check for fish, and macro invertebrates so we could establish a “before” picture. We are remeandering the channel, raising the bed, slowing the flow, resloping the banks, and planting a native buffer with plants that Dr. Rosburg says were here pre-settlement. This fall, once permits are complete, we are starting reconstruction. Uncle John once caught a 1.5lb bullhead in here. Dad caught many fish in here as a kid, and Hudson caught his first fish in this creek in 2016, and Evelyn got a pheasant with me there last winter. 🎣 Looking forward to many more Lahns catching fish here.

This is very bad. The level of contempt in his voice for the people he claims to want to represent is astonishing. These are not the words of a unifying moderate. This is the mindset of an Ivy Leaguer that thinks he’s better than you.
🚨LEAKED AUDIO: @RobSandIA says his proposed changes to state government will only happen AFTER his term because Republicans need to, “take their medicine.” Sand preaches “better and truer,” but behind closed doors promises retribution. #iagov

As a lifelong Iowa farmer and a valued leader in our legislature, Senator Garrett dedicated his life to serving our state and fighting for the conservative values we hold dear. Sending my thoughts and prayers to his wife Nancy, his three children, and all of his loved ones.

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. #LFG
🚨🚨 NEW: Carpetbagger @ZachLahn — in his own words — admits he currently lives in Kansas, not in Iowa. @gazettedotcom: “Lahn and his family have kept their home in Kansas … if elected governor he and his family would move to and live in Iowa.” #IAGov

“They treat Iowa land like it’s a commodity instead of our inheritance.” “They treat us like numbers, not neighbors.” “This is over when I’m governor.” Republican nominee for governor Zach Lahn says Iowa is being stolen from the people who built it. And he says he’ll stop the forces driving young Iowans out of the state. “We’ve lost 10,000 family farms since 2000.” “Our young people are leaving faster than 46 other states because they don’t see enough opportunity here.” “Wall Street hedge funds and foreign interests are buying and selling our land.” “Driving up costs so our kids are priced out of the market.” @ZachLahn

As a reminder.
So, Rob Sand is a lawyer and former prosecutor, but it took him years to stand up for Iowans’ right to due process and their access to the courts against corporations seeking immunity from harming our citizens. I hope everyone sees this flip flop and understands how big it is.

Iowa Republican nominee for governor, Zach Lahn, believes Iowa can become a national leader in regenerative agriculture. “We can lead on agriculture and lead on creating those off-ramps that Bobby Kennedy talks about for regenerative farming practices.” “To get farmers less reliant on these chemicals.” “No farmer wants to spend more money on these products.” “We can help them make more money.” “Live longer, healthier lives.” “And pass something down to their kids, which is what we all want in the first place.” “I believe Iowa can now lead on this.” @ZachLahn
