Meet Brett

I am running for the Iowa House because we need leaders with the vision and leadership to deliver conservative results including protecting life, reducing our tax burden, and ensuring strong fiscal policy. I have spent 15 years with the Republican Party of Story County helping to elect conservatives to office, and I will work hard to earn your support in this new journey.

My record as a leader is full of big dreams turned reality through bringing the right partners to the table and having the persistence and tenacity to see them through. These are the same qualities that I hope to use to effectively champion conservative policy in Des Moines that improves the lives of all Iowans. It’s vital that our state continues the progress being made to make rural Iowa a place that will thrive for generations to come!

I came to Iowa in 2002 to attend the University of Iowa and never looked back. After graduating with my Doctor of Pharmacy, my wife, Tracy, and I relocated to Nevada. This is where we are raising our 5 children and where we are proud to call home.

As an Eagle Scout born into a Navy family, service is at the core of who I am. After being heavily involved on campus at the University of Iowa, I quickly became active in Nevada’s volunteer community, our local church, and was sworn in to the Nevada City Council in 2010.

Having been raised in rural communities, I am passionate about making Iowa a place that our families can thrive and our children will choose to make their homes. I understand that agriculture is the bedrock of our economy and is vital to ensuring that Iowa continues to feed and fuel the world.

As a pharmacist, I have served Story and Marshall Counties for more than 15 years, including bringing pharmacy services to Zearing. I also serve as senior policy advisor for the Iowa Pharmacy Association, working to make health care more accessible for Iowans at the state and federal levels.

During my time as Mayor of Nevada, I have prioritized strengthening our community through economic and community development, Main Street revitalization, and quality of life opportunities. Nevada has experienced unprecedented job growth through small business, industry, agriculture, and renewable energy, and can be a model for Iowa communities.

I am running for Iowa House because my depth of experience in economic development, healthcare, rural revitalization, and foster care will help our state enact policies to make Iowa a place where families can thrive and the next generation will be proud to call home! I will use this experience to fight for policies that are right for you and will move Iowa forward!

Join me as we work together to:

• Make our communities strong with job opportunities and quality of life for future generations

• Ensure health care is accessible and affordable for all Iowans with free market solutions

• Grow our workforce by attracting residents to fill available jobs

• Empower parents to make decisions that are best for their children

• Ensure our emergency responders and law enforcement have the support and resources necessary to keep our communities safe

• Protect our private property rights and prevent eminent domain abuse for private business

• Fight for life and safe, loving homes for children through foster care and adoption

• Protect our 2nd amendment rights

• Update and modernize our aging infrastructure

• Make sure that our farmers are able to continue to innovate as they feed and fuel the world.

• Help Iowans with the pinch of rising inflation through efficient use of tax dollars and the attraction of high paying jobs

• Redevelop and reimagine our communities and our main streets to attract families and remote workers

It would be my honor if you would join me in our effort to ensure House District 51 continues to have strong representation in Des Moines! I humbly ask for your support and for your vote.
