Not every trend is worth following. Iowa doesn’t need legalized recreational marijuana. We need stronger families, safer communities, and policies that help people thrive, not another industry built on dependency. #KeepIowaFree #AdamSteen #ProtectIowa #IowaValues #FullSteenAhead #FaithFamilyFreedom #IAGov #Iowaprimary #republican #Iowa

I’m not afraid to say what many Iowans already believe. There are two genders: male and female. Truth isn’t controversial. #IowaPolitics #IAGov #TeamSteen #IowaValues #FaithFamilyFreedom #Steen2026 #LeadershipMatters #Election2026 #CampaignTrail #FullSteenAhead #KeepIowaFree #GrassrootsMovement #Iowaprimary #republican

Small businesses are the heartbeat of Iowa. Places like Unionland Feed and Food Market aren’t just stores, it’s where neighbors gather, families build dreams, and communities stay strong. Every handshake, every conversation, every hard-earned dollar spent locally, keeps towns like West Union alive. This is Iowa, and it’s worth keeping free. #KeepIowaFree #SmallBusiness #IowaValues #TeamSteen #SupportLocal #RuralIowa #FullSteenAhead

How Private Equity is Destroying Elder Care 💰 @JDScholten: Private equity firms are buying up nursing homes, slashing staff, maximizing profits, and leaving our elderly with terrible care. We need to treat our seniors with respect — not as profit centers. #PrivateEquity #ElderCare #NursingHomes #ProtectSeniors #ProfitOverPeople #JDScholten #IowaValues #SeniorCare #EndCorporateGreed #AgingWithDignity

Sometimes the smallest towns hold the biggest pieces of Iowa’s story. From old opera houses to quiet main streets, this is the heart of the state worth fighting for. Faith, community, history, and people who still believe in hard work, rising up, and helping their neighbors. This is Iowa, and it’s worth keeping free. #KeepIowaFree #TeamSteen #IowaValues #SmallTownIowa #EssexIowa

Former Iowa state Sen. Jim Carlin, the conservative Republican running for U.S. Senate in Iowa, demanded Thursday that Sen. Joni Ernst use the “nuclear option” to alter Senate rules and end the federal government shutdown now in its second day. Carlin, a trial lawyer and U.S. Army veteran who served in the Iowa Legislature from 2017 to 2023, issued the call as the federal government remained closed following Congress’ failure to pass funding legislation by the Sept. 30 deadline. The shutdown has furloughed hundreds of thousands of federal workers and delayed services, including veterans’ benefits processing and national park access. “Republicans have the power and the votes to invoke the nuclear option right now and change the Senate rules with a simple majority,” Carlin said. “They should do it without delay to end this shutdown and get the government back to work. If I were in there, I would do it today, and when elected, I will do it — no hesitation, no games.” The maneuver, known as the nuclear option, would allow Republicans to sidestep the 60-vote filibuster threshold required to end debate on budget legislation under current rules. Senate Republicans hold a 53-47 majority, giving them the simple-majority power to alter precedents on procedural votes, as they did earlier this year to expedite President Donald Trump’s executive nominees. According to Carlin, the filibuster, a Senate practice allowing extended debate to delay or block legislation, is not found anywhere in the Constitution. While it emerged in the early 19th century, the formal cloture rule to end such debate (requiring a two-thirds vote) was not adopted until 1917. Carlin’s demand comes amid finger-pointing between the parties over the impasse. Democrats have accused Republicans of attaching partisan riders, including spending cuts to health programs, to a House-passed stopgap bill that failed in the Senate. Republicans, in turn, blame Democrats for blocking the measure over policy disputes. “While politicians on both sides blame each other, the reality is that the Democrats are partially correct for once — the Republicans have the ability to change the rules with a majority vote and end the shutdown,” Carlin said. “We owe it to the American public, our military servicemembers and veterans to reopen the government. They need to stop playing games and get the government back to work.” The shutdown’s impacts are mounting quickly. The Defense Department has exempted about 406,000 civilian employees to continue essential operations, but uniformed service members face delayed paychecks if unresolved by Oct. 15. Social Security payments are expected to continue, but new claims processing has halted. “This isn’t about party loyalty or waiting for the perfect moment,” Carlin added. “It’s about leadership. Iowa deserves a senator who will fight for results, not excuses.” Negotiations between congressional leaders resumed Monday, but no breakthrough has emerged. The last shutdown, from December 2018 to January 2019, lasted 35 days and cost the economy an estimated $11 billion.

Iowa SCOTUS on a real barn burner today. Banning abortion relaxing sex offender registry this 👇🏻. Ostensibly a 12 yo raped by a serial sex offender allowed to evade the public registry would have to testify against him in court before having his baby. #IowaValues
