🎉Congratulations, freedom-loving Iowans. Forty-five states now have a constitutional amendment protecting the right to keep and bear arms! But, we still have work to do in Minnesota, Maryland, California, New York, and New Jersey!

The Linn County Auditor failed to place the Board of Supervisors race on the ballots for Putnam Township. This is a very serious oversight that has taken away the ability of voters to make their voice heard on who their next county supervisor will be.

When Nancy Pelosi tried to overturn the results of an Iowa congressional election, I fought back. Iowans should determine the winners of Iowa's elections, not DC politicians. Thank you Congresswoman for your support.
