Like most Iowa parents, we want to focus on math and reading, not political agendas from either extreme. And like all Iowans, I want us to get back to having the best public schools in the country. As governor, I'll fight for Iowa's public schools because my kids are counting on them, too.

Bottom line: Anyone building a data center in Iowa should be contributing to Iowa, not extracting from us. They should be paying full freight in taxes and carrying their own weight, not raising your costs for anything, and most of all - should be respecting those who were already here.

I know you've been spending a lot of time at Mar-a-Lago recently Joe, but we're pretty proud of our bikes here in Iowa.

Utility companies, special interest groups, and data centers are driving up costs & every Iowa family is feeling it. I'm the only candidate in the race focused on making life more affordable and strengthening our economy. Here's my plan: robsand.com/issues/making-li…

I handled the only American prosecution to address this global scam. Public service means doing hard things when they are the right thing to do.

The image is part of a tweet discussing the death of an individual involved in a Ponzi scheme in Papua New Guinea. The tweet is by Aubrey Belford, mentioning entities like "Rob Sand" and "Iowa prosecutor" regarding a political context.

Every single person in Iowa is effected by the water quality crisis. But instead of addressing it head on, our elected officials have simply ignored the problem. From increased monitoring to transparent manure management plans, tax benefits for conservation efforts, and the largest increase in wetlands in state history - we can and should be doing more. Here are a few of my ideas on how we address it. bit.ly/3OzFKI3

The text reads: "Breaking: Rob Sand proposes initiative to improve Iowa's water quality. Sand is calling for new tax credits and increased funding to help farmers improve water quality."

For the town hall tour, the venues were different but the message stayed the same. There’s a lot of Iowans who, including me, don’t feel like we should have to be forced to pick between the lesser of two evils. people.com/rob-sand-wants-to…

Making people pick between two options on the ballot is less about serving them and more about controlling them.

Harvest is in full swing, so @RobSandIA and I were grateful to all the folks who stopped by the county fairgrounds in Dunlap last week to grab a bite and talk about ag in Iowa. A strong Iowa economy starts with a strong ag economy!

It's pretty simple. I want low taxes, accountability from our elected officials, jail time for anyone who steals from taxpayers, and a balanced budget.

Tag or share with your GOP friends and family for a good listen. Like me, Caleb from Klemme, is frustrated by our political system. I'm glad he came out to listen to one of our town halls and thankful to have his support. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

When too few people have too much power - they tend to end up serving insiders and special interest groups - not the people they're supposed to represent.

Our political system is broken, & if we want to change anything for the better, we have to stop playing politics & return the focus to public service. My Accountability for All plan is a great place to start. Term limits, age limits, jail time for taxpayer abusers & thieves, and ending the two-choice system.
