Jeffrey VanDerWerff was a 2016 unaffiliated candidate for District 4 of the Iowa House of Representatives. He ran in the primary election as a Republican.

Campaign themes

2016

VanDerWerff's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Education

  • Excerpt: "Local control is essential and, without question, this a top three policy area, if not my number one concern."

Iowa/Common Core

  • Excerpt: "The term itself upsets people and has clearly become toxic. Iowa Core is not a curriculum; it’s a standard. It allows the state to measure performance across schools and even compare teacher effectiveness within a particular school."

Water quality

  • Excerpt: "[I] intend to focus on fiscal and regulatory policy too. For instance, it would be ideal if we could solve the issue of nitrate mitigation on an individual or voluntary basis."

Intergovernmental relations and budgets

  • Excerpt: "By virtue of US federalism, or the fact that there is more than one government (local, state and federal) over the same people, it is critically important that the various levels of the state work together as effectively and efficiently as possible."
