“Parents in HD 81 should call the shots for their kids’ education—not Des Moines bureaucrats or far-off ideologues.

As a conservative, I’m sick of seeing state mandates shove politics into our classrooms and tie teachers’ hands with red tape. I’ll fight to keep control local—parents and school boards decide what’s best, not some suit with an agenda. I’ll push for practical education: real skills for jobs like manufacturing or trades, not trendy nonsense that leaves kids unprepared.

I’ll work to gut wasteful spending on bloated state programs, so your tax dollars actually reach our schools—better books, better tech, not more administrators. And I’ll stand up for our kids’ safety, backing laws that keep classrooms focused on learning, not social experiments.

Your family, your rules—that’s how it’s going to be with me in Des Moines.”
