Today is Pregnancy and Infancy Loss Remembrance Day. To all the moms and dads who have felt this loss, my heart and prayers go out to you. I know the heartbreak personally. Please take a moment to pray for the babies in heaven and the parents who miss them and love them.

“Where will the money come from?” @ktivnews moderators keep asking. He won’t say it but we all know… It’s clear, @RobSandIA wants to raise your taxes. That’s his plan. Your 💰 his checkbook.

In Court, @RobSandIA said the only limits on his power were time & money! That’s how he sees himself: all powerful, only limited by his time & your 💰 It’s why he opposed every tax cut ever proposed by @KimReynoldsIA Don’t be fooled! Rob is a typical Big Government Liberal
REMINDER: Rob Sand did not have his auditing powers "taken away" by the legislature for uncovering corruption. During covid, he tried to access the private medical records of Iowans. At the time, he said his office was legally entitled to them. So, SF478 was passed and signed into law, which clarified that, no, it turns out a state auditor's office is not in fact entitled to our private information. Everything about Rob Sand is a lie.

Rob Sand can’t manage a budget. He overran his own budget in his 1st year and had to be bailed out by @KimReynoldsIA. @RobSandIA asked for a 70 percent increase this year. He wants higher taxes and more spending.

You’re a Billionaire who supports abortion on demand, sex changes for children, and opposed every tax cut @KimReynoldsIA ever proposed. So yeah, She’s right to think you’re full of IT running as something other than what you are: A Rich, Out of Touch, Liberal.
Guys, I don't think she likes me 😞

I reread this every year. I cry like a baby every year. Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero. Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked. Lisa: I understand. Can they see you? Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake. Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor. Lisa: Are you okay? Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again. Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true? Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan. Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call. Lisa: I promise. Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy. Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.) Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol. Todd: I understand. I’ll be back. Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot. Lisa: What are you going to do? Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out. Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

Ray Gaesser was the best of Iowa. He loved his family and farming and our great state. He was a passionate advocate for agriculture and family farms and always with a smile on his face. He will be missed by me and many and we pray for Ray and his family.

Voting for @ZachLahn is a vote to support family farmers. I know he will fight for year round E15, a fix for Prop12, increasing ag exports and lowering fertilizer + diesel costs.

Bob wants to make everything more expensive. Billionaire Bob can afford higher taxes and higher prices. He wants more government spending at your expense. Don’t let Billionaire Bob Sand fool you.
Imagine all we could have accomplished if we would have funded IWill 16 years ago? Just like Iowans - including myself - overwhelmingly voted to do.

What’s rich is Democrats like Bernie and @RobSandIA see further government involvement as part of solution instead of exacerbating the problem (government helped create). 🤦🏼‍♂️
Healthcare spending per person 1973: $441 2026: $15,474 Home Price 1973: $35,500 2026: $475,400 Rent 1973: $133 2026: $2,017 Public College Tuition/Fees 1973: $514 2026: $11,950 Has your income kept up with these rising prices? Probably not. That's why so many are struggling.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

Rob Sand wanted access to private attorney client info. Supreme Court said NO. @RobSandIA wanted access to your personal private health information. Like if you were vaccinated. The Iowa Legislature said NO. In November, Iowa needs to say no to this big government lib.

I am proud to be endorsed by the @NRA. They know I am the true conservative running for State Senate and I don’t just talk about protecting gun rights, I have a demonstrated record of support on Second Amendment issues.
