Why I'm Running

Candidate position
Belief

Today, too many Iowans stretched thin by health care, housing, utilities, food, and child care costs – and the last thing they should have to worry about is whether their tax dollars are being wasted, misused, or diverted. Instead of making life better for Iowans, some politicians are rigging the system to face fewer questions, less oversight, and getting rid of accountability to the people they are meant to serve.

Public record

Executive public-record methodology

Executive public-record methodology

An executive record will attach only from official orders, directives, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct official statements that explicitly attribute the action to this person. Agency outcomes and events during an administration are not inferred as personal actions.

Campaign finance

Official filings may be amended after publication.

Current campaign-finance summary unavailable

No Iowa campaign-finance amount attaches until one exact committee identity, compatible office and cycle, and stable official report are captured. Missing values are not zero.

Research boundary

Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.

Member-level public record

Not published

Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED

Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records. This does not establish that the candidate has never held public office.
