Iowa (RI) – Another Republican has entered the race for governor and it’s a candidate who says he’ll be the biggest donor to his own campaign.
Zach Lahn kicked off his campaign this afternoon at his family’s century farm near Belle Plaine, which he bought in 2014 and where his family now lives. Lahn is the son of a pastor who grew up in Sioux City, got a degree in political science from Colorado University and got a job working for a member of Colorado’s state senate. He’s led campaigns for Republican candidates in Iowa and other states and has worked for the political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity.
Lahn now runs an investment business and says he’s not a politician, will be his biggest donor and can’t be bought. As governor, Lahn says he’d pursue an “Iowa First” agenda because the people who built Iowa are being pushed aside by greed and corruption. Lahn is calling for the break up big ag and big pharma monopolies that he says have rigged the system against farmers and poisoned Iowa families for generations.
