We have to get Iowa back on track. Cleaning up our water, accountability for government officials, funding public education, and putting public service ahead of politics - like you, these issues matter to me because I have skin in the game. I hope that during tonight's debate I earned your vote.

I want us to get back to that Iowa tradition of sitting down and solving our problems together. That's why I promoted a Republican and independent who donated to my opponent to senior positions in the Auditor's Office. We're at the bottom for economic growth, the top for cancer growth, and our public education system is in the bottom half. It's time to rotate the crops in Iowa. I hope I've earned your vote.

Our political system is broken. There are two private clubs more interested in beating each other up instead of solving the problems of Iowans. It's time for change.

Iowa is facing a serious water quality problem. Too many communities don’t have safe water to drink, swim in, or fish in. I want all Iowans to be able to enjoy God's creations. This isn’t a “left” or “right” problem - it affects us all. And I’m the only candidate in this race with a full achievable plan to address it. #IAGov #GovDebate

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the private school voucher program has been one of the biggest invitations to waste, fraud, and abuse in Iowa history. We have a $1.3 billion budget deficit, and Iowans deserve accountability for how their tax dollars are spent. #IAGov #GovDebate

My faith is a huge motivator in my life, and one of the stories that has always stood out to me is Jesus flipping the tables of the money changers. Public servants should be serving the public, not political insiders or special interests.

After a decade of one-party control, Iowans know the state is headed in the wrong direction. We're ready to elect a new type of leader who puts public service over politics. That’s why Republicans, independents, and Democrats are all supporting our campaign, and it's why my Cabinet would include Iowans from across the political spectrum. #IAGov #GovDebate

Iowa hasn’t had an open governor’s race in 20 years. This is our chance to change our state’s direction and hold insiders and special interests accountable. #iagov

“Mr. Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in the 2024 general election. But voting records that have not previously been reported show he requested that his ballot be mailed to him — in Kansas.” Huh! Now why would he do that 🤔 #IAGov nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/po…

An Iowa Republican’s Unusual Connection to the Kochs (and Kansas)

In his campaign for governor, Zach Lahn has pitched himself as a self-made businessman. His backstory is more complicated.

Reminder my opponent wants to ban all mRNA anything. Here’s a screenshot of him saying it.
The image is a text excerpt highlighting a significant medical finding. It discusses a vaccine that almost halves the risk of death or recurrence of melanoma, involving companies Moderna and Merck. The vaccine uses mRNA technology and has shown a 42 percent reduction in risk compared to standard treatments. The text emphasizes the potential for mRNA to transform cancer treatment, quoting Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel. The source is the Washington Post.

Text discussing Zach Lahn's support for banning certain cancer treatments. Lahn, mentioned in the context of a debate at a conservative group Moms for Liberty, agreed to ban mRNA vaccines if elected. The text references the American Cancer Society and cites a recent study by Merck and Moderna on mRNA vaccines for treating melanoma.

More trouble for @ZachLahn's running mate. His parents have filed in court against him, saying he owes them $275k. desmoinesregister.com/story/… via @LetsJett

Lt. gov. candidate Derek Wulf's parents claim he owes them $275,000

Derek Wulf's parents claim the politician is two years behind on rent, owing them $275,000, and made "misrepresentations" on his balance sheet.

Let's check the notes: 88,700 contributions. Nearly 95% under $100. Not a dime from corporate PACs. Meanwhile, more than $16.8 million of Zach Lahn’s money comes from outside of Iowa.

That'll happen when you're a billionaire. But, all the money in the world won't stop the Iowa First movement. Rob Sand will learn the hard way in 13 days that Iowa is not for sale.
