Twenty-six years ago, I was given the life-changing opportunity to teach at the University of Iowa College of Law, where I have been ever since. It has been the honor of a lifetime to teach Iowa’s sons and daughters about business innovation and economic growth, and about democracy and the rule of law. And it has been a joy to have a family and raise my daughter in a place like Iowa, where family and community are deeply-held values.
That’s why, in 2020, I took on the political establishment and defeated a 20-year incumbent of my own party to serve in the Iowa House of Representatives. There, I fought for our public schools, our farmers and small businesses, clean air and water, and our rights and liberties. I stood up to both parties – and worked with both parties – to get things done for hardworking Iowans.
Now, I am running to do the same in Congress. I am running to put Iowa first.
Cook Political has rated this race a toss-up.
