“I believe fiscal responsibility is not just sound policy, but a moral obligation. Just as families across Iowa must live within their means, so too must our government. It is wrong to burden our children and grandchildren with crushing debt because leaders today refused to make hard choices. Stewardship is a both  a moral and biblical principle, and I am committed to ensuring that every taxpayer dollar is spent wisely, transparently, and only on the essential functions of government. By operating state government within our means, we can protect liberty, strengthen our economy, and secure a brighter future for generations to come.”
