I am a life long resident of Union County Iowa . My wife and I have been married for 46 years and we have four daughters and 12 grandchildren. Railroad work had been my career for 43 years but now I am retired and can dedicate all my efforts to representing all the residents of Iowa House District 21 .
  • Finally providing representation to all the people of our District regardless of party. To enfranchise the people of our area , so they can have a voice in real time.
  • Providing leadership so problems can finally be addressed in Iowa. People are tired of do nothing know nothing politicians eating up tax dollars.
  • Will use state of the art scientific and mathematical data to create solution oriented models in an effort to revitalize our rural economies.
Public policy involving the Covid 19 virus has displayed a lack of independent thinking and because of the lockstep following of the White House misinformation has cost too many Iowa lives and the lack of leadership has created a tremendous burden on our medical system and our national economic system . Because of the inability of the leadership in Iowa to embrace scientific data and fact we continue to have some of the highest infection rates not only in the country but the world. This puts every persons life at risk and displays a total lack of responsibility and respect for the people of Iowa. This issue is the most important issue we have faced in my lifetime.
My mother. She never judged anyone, had great artistic vision and skill, was forgiving , was always helpful and caring, and had tremendous passion for life.
Telling the truth . Honesty Integrity
Leadership

Honesty
Integrity
Truthfulness

Excellent financial , organizational , and problem solving skills.
To be the representative voice for a consensus of your constituents . I am elected to represent all the people not just my party and not vote party at the expense of my constituents . To uphold my oath of office.
I would like to leave a better environment and a better financial future for Iowans.
The assassination of Kennedy
Worked for HyVee for one year in highschool.
To Kill a Mocking Brid
Blue Sky
Providing for an adequate standard of living and healthcare for my family.
I believe that it may be helpful but not necessary. Many life experiences can give you the skills to work well with others.
As the economic structure of our country changes we will need to be prepared to change rapidly with it. It is evident that climate change will begin to effect a state so directly connected with agriculture. We need to realistically address these issues and stop deferring problem solving to some future generation.
I visualize people from both parties being pragmatic about the problems that effect the state of Iowa. Sitting down and looking at all the pertinent information and intelligently coming to a consensus from all parties. At this time we have a majority of what I call career politicians . We need people who will serve their constituents not their largest campaign donor.
We cant continue to have the best government money can buy.
Yes, There is little to no difference between a moderate Democrat , moderate Republican , or a moderate independent . Why build walls between people.
