My faith is incredibly important to me. And that faith taught me to do what I can to help if I see someone struggling. That's one of the guiding principles of how I intend to govern.

The easiest way to build connections is to actually show up & talk with folks.

Im proud that accessibility & open communication are tenets of this campaign. www.telegraphherald.com/news/tri-sta...

I arrowed probably be the biggest buck of my life… and in Des Moines city limits! I worked hard to find landowners who would take a hunter as I zeroed in on his turf. Official green score: 209 gross. 🤯 Thanks to Scovel Taxidermy, the Milo Locker for butchering, & to Cameron Coble for scoring him!

During my town hall events, I get to hear from a lot of Iowans, on a lot of topics. Being able to spend time writing on Substack allows me to keep running notes of the issues that matter to you & helps me know what you want me to focus on, if elected. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Iowa farmers feed our country and the world. They deserve leaders who will stand up and fight for them – not make their lives harder or hurt their bottom line.

As governor, I’ll be that leader and honor the hard work Iowa farmers do to put food on all our tables. #NationalFarmersDay

Turned on Shark Tank this week and couldn't believe it when an Iowan walked out! Great work Billie! www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entert...
Did 'Shark Tank' make a deal with Iowan Billie Asmus and her company Repaint Studios?
Iowan Billie Asmus got the chance to pitch her Repaint Tray to investors including Chip and Joanna Gaines on ABC's "Shark Tank." Here's what happened.

I hear it everywhere I go: people are tired of the political fights. Neither party solves enough problems to have a monopoly on our choices at the ballot box.

If we end the monopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties, we can have real competition to actually solve problems instead of just settling for the “lesser of two evils.”

Settle the debate, Hy-Vee or Fareway?

Too many of our leaders don't show up or they'll roll into town with no advance notice. That's not public service, that's politics. We may not always agree but I'm committed to being accountable, listening first, and making sure no Iowa is left out of the conversation.

One of these perspectives supports a budget bill that kicks 106,700 Iowans off Medicaid & threatens to close Iowa's rural hospitals. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm against that perspective.

We have the worst economy in the country, the highest cancer growth rate, and our farmers are struggling under undue tarriff pressure. And what are our leaders doing about it? It's time for something different.
