“I believe it is time we restore common sense to governance. Too often, government at every level has become mired in bureaucracy, wasteful spending, and political gamesmanship, losing sight of its true purpose; to serve the people with integrity, accountability, and restraint. Common sense tells us that families must live within their means, and government should be no different. It reminds us that individual liberty, personal responsibility, and faith are the foundations of a strong and free society. By returning to these timeless truths, we can cut through the noise of politics and refocus our efforts on policies that truly strengthen Iowa’s families, communities, and future.”
