Dillon Fillion, born on May 9, 2004, in Davenport, Iowa, has an older sister, brother, and a younger brother. His father, Martin, a Canadian immigrant, played semi-professional ice hockey and works at John Deere. His mother, Wende, is a dedicated healthcare professional. They instilled Christian values, a strong work ethic, and perseverance in Dillon.
Following his father's footsteps, Dillon played hockey but chose to pursue an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Scott Community College after graduating from Bettendorf High School in 2023.
Dillon began his advocacy journey in high school, collaborating on a bill regarding term limits and volunteering for various political campaigns, including those of Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks and President Donald J. Trump. His activism reflects his commitment to religious freedom, law enforcement, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, fair elections, and American freedoms.
Dillon Fillion, a Christian Constitutional Conservative, is dedicated to serving his community and advocating for Iowans. He aims to be the true voice that everyday Iowans need, striving to keep Iowa great and make it even greater.
As citizens of the United States, we possess the liberty to practice our faith in the manner, time, and location that aligns with our beliefs. I am committed to collaborating with our legislative bodies to enact legislation that safeguards this essential freedom from any form of government intervention, without exception. No governor, mayor, or governing body will be permitted to curtail religious ceremonies or worship. This will remain an inviolable principle.
I hold a pro-life stance, advocating for the sanctity of every life, beginning from conception. The pro-life movement, which I align with, is committed to offering essential resources to support expectant mothers in choosing life-affirming options. When elected as your Representative, I intend to allocate substantial additional resources to assist pregnant women in making choices that can save lives, such as adoption, parental assistance and guidance, and neonatal care.
Agriculture is Iowa’s and America’s original industry, and its importance has never been greater. Farmers in Iowa nourish our state and nation, and the agriculture sector holds immense untapped potential if the government steps aside. We need representatives who will protect Iowa farmers and their land from an overreaching federal government that dictates what livestock they can keep or what crops they can plant. The EPA harasses our farmers by attempting to regulate the ditches on their property. As your Representative, I will collaborate with my colleagues to oppose these unconstitutional regulations and unlock the full potential of Iowa’s agriculture.

The imperative is clear: we must halt the pernicious “defund the police” movement, which is undeniably linked to the surge in violent crime gripping our nation. Those spearheading this cause have repeatedly demonstrated a lack of concern for impoverished and minority communities – evident in their indifference to the devastating gang violence plaguing our cities, disproportionately affecting these very communities. It is neither compassionate nor equitable to abandon law-abiding citizens to the mercy of criminals. I will not compromise with individuals seeking to dismantle law enforcement for personal gain. I am committed to both withholding State Shared Revenues from municipalities that defund their police departments.

Dillon Fillion was born on May 9th, 2004, in Davenport, Iowa. Along with his parents, he has an older sister and brother, and one younger brother. His father, Martin, a Canadian immigrant, came to America on a D1 hockey scholarship to Umass Lowell. After college, he played semi-professional ice hockey, which led him to settle in the Midwest where he began his career at John Deere. His mother, Wende, is a longtime dental and healthcare professional, devoting herself to the care of others. Together, they instilled a loving sense of Christian family values, a strong work ethic, and perseverance.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Dillon grew up playing hockey at various levels.
