I am a born again Christian and a retired US Merchant Marine Officer.
  • Fighting for Medical Freedoms, no one should be forced to take the vaccines, freedom of medical choice.
  • Fighting for the rights of Parents and School Choice, Parental Choice. If schools can't correct their current patterns in regards to sexuality and harming children, school choice is the only solution.
  • Fighting for the Property Rights against Eminent Domain.
Fight to protect life of the children in the womb and those born alive from the grasp of those that wish to harm them. The right to life for all who are conceived from the point of conception. While a forming human being is a fetus by definition, he or she is a creation of God from the initial point of conception. If a fetus is nonviable and the mother’s life is in danger, a medical emergency should be declared, and the doctor should save the mother's life.

I am passionate about the right to keep and bear arms. I am a firm supporter of the Second Amendment. Firearms don’t kill people; people kill people using all types of weapons. Infringements on the second amendment restrict law abiding citizens from the ability to protect themselves and their families. Criminals will always find ways to obtain a weapon. Our government whether local, state or federal must not have the ability to impose any infringements on our God given rights to protect our family and/or property that the Lord has so blessed us with. We, as the people of this great Republic, must have the ability to have the full weight of the 2nd Amendment with us no matter where in the Republic we chose to travel to. We must seek to have a national right to carry for all law abiding citizens with no prior felonies, without having to jump through hoops to obtain a permit. We must seek to abolish any red flag laws that are imposed on citizens. The laws have no due process.
Folks like Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan and others that have great temperaments and speak calmly for the most part and with passion and conviction.

Integrity, Christian based principles.
We must unite as republicans and fight the progressive left and those that proclaim to be Republican but are truly Rino's and allow the radical agenda to take root in our lives. I am a fighter, and together we must stop the mad rush to Marxism.

I am currently a delegate for the Hardin County central committee and got involved in state politics as our nation slowly erodes due to the radical agenda this administration is enacting against the will of the American people and of Iowans.

I
I remember the 52 hostages were released moments after Ronald Reagan was sworn into office. That seared a deep respect for the Gipper and I became a republican for life.

In the prior administration, I saw my parents go through so much hardship with the high cost of food and fuel for their car. I saw the fuel shortages throughout Southern California and as a kid, never new why. Many tough battles were ahead for my folks during those Carter years. When Reagan came in, we saw our nation rebuild and grow. Inflation and stagflation were reduced and the economy boomed.
I worked at McDonalds for 2 yrs plus and loved it. I was promoted to swing manager and had a great group to work with. My parents thought about hard work and always performing to my best ability. I must instill a good work ethic in the kids today. Iowans know how to work hard and are proud to deliver just that.
Martina McBride - Independence Day
Mutual Respect for Office and State. Both should work to achieve the best for the citizens of Iowa.
The greatest challenge is fighting against the wave of marxist democrats that wish to change everything Iowans and our Nation stands for. I believe our rich American history should be taught at public schools. All public education of our children should be pro-patriotic. If you don’t want your children to say the Pledge of Allegiance, learn about our founding fathers and the history of our great nation, the good and bad of our nation, then I believe you have the right to another option of school choice. I believe that we should be NOT be indoctrinating our children with Critical Race Theory, or LGBTQ theology. Again, I respect one's rights to believe the way they want, but it is not okay to indoctrinate the children in the school setting. Children should learn reading, writing, arithmetic, history, science and the arts in school. Sexual orientation education should be reserved for parents. I do, however, believe that it is important for students to be offered education on how their bodies are changing prior to puberty. The curriculum should NOT have an agenda that are morally incorrect with traditional Judeo Christian principles and must be sent to parents prior and parents must be given an opportunity to have their children opt out. I completely reject the curriculum that Planned Parenthood is pushing to implement in schools. It is becoming increasingly harder for teachers, as special interests groups are pushing different agendas and social stances in the classroom. Children are coming from diverse family make-ups, and children should not be condemned, excluded, or made to feel their family is unacceptable under any circumstance. I will restate, the schoolhouse is no place to indoctrinate children with twisted ideologies and sexuality confuse the young minds with the LGBTQ ideology.
Our system is better than having just one legislative chamber. One builds upon the other and/or one chamber my correct the other and improve bills moving through the different committees.
Yes, coalitions of strong like minded legislators should band together and push legislations that uphold the Iowa Constitution and the US Constitution. These coalitions must not waterdown conservative bills that go into committee
So many to choose from in the House:

I would like to be on one that helps establish the final draft of bills to be introduced in regards to future vaccine requirement on the citizens of our great state. No one should be forced to get an experimental treatment in order to keep their jobs, period. No one should dictate what experimental vaccines are required for our children. All should be voluntary.

not at this time. Just want to help fix this mess in DC and in Des Moines.
I met many land owners/farmers during a hearings in Des Moines against the eminent domain issues and the threat from the pipeline/land agents . The stories were profound and in many cases the farmers spoke emotionally of the generations the land has been in the family. Very touching stories, the people are losing sleep and are very frustrated at the way the land agents and pipeline folks are harassing them. This must cease immediately. Legislation should be passed immediately to protect these citizens.
Under extreme cases but emergency powers must be limited and revoked as needed when the abuses of the citizens is determined to be like we have seen across our Republic in the last two years.
Compromise is sometimes part of many negotiations but never should be employed when it would weaken the moral character or integrity of the legislature or of our Republic. We must uphold the moral absolutes that has made America the beacon of hope for the world, the shining city on the hill.
