Now running for Congress, Joe is concerned about the rising cost of living and the growing challenges facing working families. Too many young people are unable to buy a home, unlikely to start a family, or even put down roots in the communities where they grew up. Joe believes Iowa should be a place where the next generation can afford to stay, build a career, and achieve the American Dream.He supports term limits for members of Congress, banning congressional stock trading, and refuses to accept corporate PAC money because elected officials should answer to voters—not special interests. He is willing to challenge the status quo because he’s not a career politician and doesn’t seek the approval of the political establishment.Joe is committed to tackling the issues that matter most to Iowans: lowering costs, expanding homeownership, supporting small businesses, strengthening rural communities, and restoring trust in government. He believes the American Dream can once again be attainable to the next generation, but only if we make serious changes.

As your representative, I will fight for you—not corporations. That’s why I don’t take a dime of corporate PAC money. When elected officials are funded by special interests, it’s the public who gets left behind.

Members of Congress should be focused on serving their constituents, not profiteering from their insider information on the stock market. I support a full ban on stock and prediction market trading for members of Congress. Iowans deserve leaders they can trust to put Iowa first.

Americans deserve immigration policies that put them first. By securing our borders, deporting criminal illegal immigrants, and reforming our immigration laws, we can ensure that Americans—not the Third World—have access to the American Dream. I support a temporary ban on H-1B visas and a long-term plan that ensures Americans are prioritized not only on U.S. soil but also in the global labor market.

We should use every tool our nation has at its disposal including natural gas, oil, nuclear, clean coal, hydro, solar, and wind power to lower costs and strengthen American energy independence. By investing in a diverse energy mix, we can create jobs, reduce reliance on foreign energy sources, and better protect consumers from price volatility and supply disruptions.

Years of wage stagnation have weakened working-class financial security even as productivity and corporate profits have risen. I will fight to prioritize American workers and keep prices low by keeping jobs in America and strengthening antitrust enforcement.

We need to lower costs, increase transparency, and expand consumer choice while preserving key protections from the ACA. Prescription drug and insulin prices for Americans should be comparable to those of other developed countries. Reform must also enforce price transparency to drive competition, ensure subsidies go directly to patients to remove hidden costs in the drug supply chain, and expand access to over-the-counter medications.

The skyrocketing price of homes has made the American Dream unattainable for most Americans. Due to over-regulation and a shortage of affordable homes for sale, the median first time home buyer is now over 40 years of age. De-regulating the homebuilding industry will allow more builders to build more homes at a much lower cost.

Hardworking Americans and small businesses deserve a tax system that rewards work, not punishes it. I will cut taxes for middle-class families and job creators, simplify the tax code, and help people keep more of what they earn to grow the economy and create good-paying jobs. We must end years of wage stagnation that have hurt working families despite rising productivity and profits. I will prioritize American workers by keeping jobs in America, strengthening antitrust enforcement, and keeping prices low.

American farmers are the backbone of our economy and food security, and Washington must start treating them that way. Cutting burdensome regulations, expanding access to global markets, and boosting domestic fertilizer production will ensure family farms can thrive for generations.

I believe there are two genders—male and female. Women and girls deserve a level playing field in sports, free from biological males, with policies that protect fairness, safety, and equal opportunity so female athletes can succeed on their merits. I oppose sex-change surgeries for minors, will fight to ban the use of federal tax dollars for these procedures, and will work to keep biological men out of women’s bathrooms.

Sovereign nations require secure borders and justice systems with clear consequences. I also support voter ID laws to ensure free and fair federal elections. Identification is widely accessible, and we should make registration as easy as possible for eligible U.S. citizens while ensuring that only citizens are able to vote in our elections.

Twelve years in the House and twelve years in the Senate (Twenty-four years total) is more than enough time to pass meaningful legislation. It’s time to get rid of entrenched bureaucrats and bring fresh ideas to Washington. New voices and perspectives are essential to keeping our democracy responsive and effective.

Our K–12 education system should develop the fundamentals of reading, writing, math, and critical thinking while empowering parents to decide what’s best for their children’s education. Colleges and universities must be held accountable for how they spend taxpayer dollars, with a greater focus on affordability, workforce readiness, and measurable outcomes. Public institutions should prioritize access for in-state students, ensuring Iowa families benefit first, while federal funding should be tied to transparency, cost control, and real return on investment for students.
