Jeff Meyers was a 2016 Libertarian candidate for District 38 of the Iowa House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Meyers' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Medical choice

  • Excerpt: "The evidence is clear and overwhelming. The state’s current policy of cannabis oil does not go far enough to relieve the pain and suffering of Iowans. At the very least full use of Medical marijuana should be implemented as quickly as possible. Sick Iowans need it, the voters want it and it would be a moral decision."

Legalizing fireworks

  • Excerpt: "It is absurd, that a Person cannot legally buy and shoot off fireworks. It is not the state’s job to dictate to the citizens how to live their own lives."

Civil forfeiture

  • Excerpt: "NO law enforcement agency has a right to take your money or property without a proper warrant; that cannot be gained without proper cause and evidence decided by a judge under our strict laws."

Economic policy

  • Excerpt: "Tax policy seems to be the most complicated, yet, in reality is the simplest to solve. The biggest drag on the economy is taxes and over regulation. There are so many unnecessary rules and regulations that small business is overwhelmed and cannot compete. On top of that both business and individuals are taxed, taxed and more taxed."
