I’m your neighbor and a lifelong Cedar Rapids resident, and I’m asking for your vote at the special election on April 29, 2025. Tuesday is our chance to bring leadership that listens to House District 78. As your candidate, I pledge to fight for our shared values. Your vote is critical— here’s why we must act now:
Now is the time to help our families, to bring more and better jobs, attain better educations for our kids, help our families achieve their dreams, bring safer and stronger neighborhoods, and make Cedar Rapids the best place to live in all of Iowa.
All Democrats in the House voted to keep graphically explicit pornography in our public schools. They all voted to allow mutilation of children. They all voted to allow biological boys into girls’ sports, into girls’ locker room, into their showers. They voted against election security. It’s time to stop this radical agenda…NOW and right here in District 78!
Now is the time to say no to radical progressive policies. From defunding law enforcement to pushing extreme social agendas, Democrats in Des Moines are out of touch with Cedar Rapids’ common-sense values. They believe they have the majority on their side because WE fail to show up where it counts the most. I’ll champion fiscal responsibility, support our police, and focus on jobs and schools that strengthen our community. Your vote is urgently needed to restore balance and safety back to Cedar Rapids.
With your support, we can send a conservative Republican who listens to you, to the State House. My experience has taught me how to solve problems and deliver results. I’ll fight for lower taxes, better schools, and affordable healthcare that works for families—not bureaucrats. Voting now is vital to make this vision reality.
Please bring your friends to vote on April 29
