My opponent can’t address Iowa’s cancer crisis from two states away. I'm the only candidate in this race proposing real solutions that help our families tackle cancer head on.

On the main drag in Belle Plaine.

Hey Iowa GOP, please keep paying people to follow me- that's two now that are public supporters!

Not a billionaire. My wife's company doesn't make nitrate fertilizer. They didn't pollute any drinking water. The only truth in my opponent's ads is that he is that he's willing to say anything to trick you into voting for him.

Taking lunch into my own hands. Thank you Alfonso and to everyone who joined us at La Carreta Mexican Grill to talk about how state government can remove barriers & cut red-tape to help small businesses succeed.

Please read this closely- my opponent WOULD ban cancer treatments, and sounds very much like the political operative he’s been for a decade.

Stealing from taxpayers is bad. Doesn't matter if it's $1M or $160.

When I took office in 2019, we were halfway into Fiscal Year 2019 & the AOS finances had been dwindling for years. In my first year, we got it turned around & have consistently balanced our budget. As we face a $1.4 billion budget deficit as a state, I'll make sure we balance the budget as governor.

Chart titled "State Auditor Account Balances" shows two lines representing Filing Fee (blue) and Periodic (orange) from FY14 to FY24. The lines reveal a similar fluctuating trend, with both dipping around FY18 and peaking near FY20 and FY23. The Filing Fee line peaks higher than the Periodic in FY20.

Only one candidate for governor filled out the cancer questionnaire from the American Cancer Society.

We are seeing it everywhere we go. Iowans are ready for change. And in 27 days, we can make it happen.

Iowans deserve direct answers and to know where both candidates stand. That’s why I’ve spent the past year traveling the state, and why I’m excited to outline my vision for Iowa on the KWQC debate stage tonight. #IAGov #GovDebate

Yesterday, I met with residents at Wesley on Grand to talk about how I'll be a governor for all & answer questions. I also visited Adams County to learn how state government can be a productive partner for revitalization of local communities. Thanks to Raelynne and Donna for showing me around!

BOTH parties are focused on beating each other up instead of fixing problems. Costs are high & relief always seems to find its way to insiders & big corporations, while everyone else is left trying to keep up. Here's how I plan to lower costs across the state.

It doesn't matter if you have an R or a D behind your name - cancer affects us all in one way or another. It's time we invest in research, early screenings, and take on anyone or anything contributing to this crisis.

Carlisle has been without water for five days, but the response from neighboring towns is a perfect example of Iowa nice. Iowans of every stripe are coming together to support each other, provide help, & build community.

Right wing. Left wing. Same bird. Thanks to my friends at Storyline Media for joining us at our Johnson County Town Hall.

Great catching up with Steve. Always good talking the 209 buck, urban bowhunting, and my plan for the largest wetlands restoration in Iowa history. https://youtu.be/soh_3mf3vDE?si=FK5ZhXV7AZ6DIqoJ&t=3216

Rated: False
Context: I asked how tax cuts would affect the budget.

I love a good tax cut but how do we balance it with the services we provide?

If we cut taxes, does Zach Lahn intend to cut funding to your kid's school? Or close another rural hospital?
