Proud Iowan, former U.S. Navy pilot, and lifelong public servant dedicated to protecting our democracy. Running for Iowa Secretary of State

Over the past few months I’ve been traveling all across the state visiting with Iowans. But if I haven’t met you yet, here’s my story—and why I stepped up to run for Secretary of State

Stopped by Worth Brewing Company in Northwood yesterday. Got a great tour of the brewery from Brendan, and we chatted about how the Secretary of State’s office can improve and expand services for small businesses like his.

It was great to join KFJB the other day and talk about the need for more public servants in office. Folks who are there to actually serve, and make lives better for Iowans.

Spent the day yesterday down in the far SW corner of Iowa. So many great conversations with folks in Montgomery, Page, Mills and Fremont County.

It’s been great getting out around Southern Iowa these last few days! With just 45 days until Election Day, I’m traveling across the state, meeting with Iowans and sharing my vision for the future of Iowa.

I was glad to see the Supreme Court strike down attempts to make major changes to absentee voting. This would have caused chaos for service members, students, rural voters, and so many other working Iowans who vote by mail.

The Supreme Court just struck down a rule that would have made major changes mail-in voting. This is a win for Iowa voters, thanks to the states across the country who fought back against this rule. But Paul Pate refused to join them in standing up for Iowans. We deserve better.

Paul Pate could have joined these Secretaries of State who are fighting back against the attacks on mail-in voting. Instead, he’s once again doing nothing to protect our right to vote. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we remember those we lost, and the bravery and sacrifice of so many Americans on that day and in its aftermath. Let us never forget.

I was honored to walk the picket line with UAW members in Cedar Rapids who have been on strike for nearly 2 months now. These workers deserve a fair contract. I will always stand with working Iowans in their fight against corporate greed.

After the parade yesterday we made our way over to Labor Day picnics in Iowa City and Burlington. It was great spending the afternoon and evening with so many incredible, hardworking Iowans.

Happy Labor Day! It was great to join the Letter Carriers in the Des Moines parade this morning, and honor all of the workers and unions who built this country and keep it moving every single day.

These attempts to change our election systems just 2 months before Election Day do nothing to help with security, but do everything to create chaos. No matter what happens, it’s crucial that you still get out and vote, and have your voice heard.
