I HAVE SEEN WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WHEN LEADERS AND THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER

• We need a similar approach to state government — moving forward by finding common ground and steering away from the divisive rhetoric so prevalent today.
  
  
• I want to represent the concerns of all the people of Northwest Iowa, not just special interests — and to that end I will not seek nor will I accept campaign donations from any special interest group.
  
  

IOWA FACES HUGE CHALLENGES IN THE NEAR FUTURE

• We need state leaders who will work to find practical solutions and take advantage of the many opportunities Iowa holds for our children and grandchildren.
  
  
• Our focus must be on
  
  
  • creating a positive climate for economic development with good paying jobs,
    
    
  • supporting our strong agricultural economy, and
    
    
  • improving our educational system so our children are prepared for the future.
