To the editor:

Dave Rowley is a man of integrity and will be a voice protecting our rights and individual liberties in the Iowa Senate and I support him wholeheartedly. Dave has been a long-time advocate in the Iowa Great Lakes region and has lived here for over 25 years and calls northwest Iowa “his home”. Dave and his wife, Kris, have been married for 40 years.

Dave was the Chair of the Dickinson County Republicans for several years where he invigorated the county party and brought a fresh face to the party. Beyond that, Dave hasn’t run for political office before and so he brings a fresh face to the political party in northwest Iowa, but his wife has been the Dickinson County Treasurer since 2006.

Dave is a conservative and believes the role of government is to protect Iowans’ God-given rights. He believes in individual freedoms, good schools, great jobs, lower taxes, and he wants to make northwest Iowa an excellent place to live, where people can come, get a good job and become part of a community.

Dave has mentioned many times that what he loves about northwest Iowa is the people. The people who live in our communities are kind, hard-working and care about families, and safety. It is because of these things and more that I endorse my good friend Dave Rowley for Senate District 1 because he is the best candidate running. Please vote on Dec. 14 for the special election for Dave Rowley, Senate District 1.

John H. Wills,

State Representative, House District 1,

Speaker Pro Tempore,
