“I work for the people of Iowa, and I never forget that.”

“Fiscal discipline is not just a talking point; it's a necessity.”

“The family farm is the backbone of our rural communities.”

“I'm a farmer. I understand the land, and I understand the people who work it.”

“Reducing the tax burden on hardworking families is always a priority.”

“My work ethic is: 'Do the job'.”

“We must always remember that the government works for the people, not the other way around.”
