Sioux Center and Statewide, Iowa – Former Iowa State Representative Brad Sherman says restoring what he calls the “foundations of freedom” is the guiding focus of his campaign for governor, as he seeks the office in the 2026 election.
During a recent interview in Sioux Center Sherman said his priorities center on educating Iowans about how government is intended to function.
Sherman noted that emphasis naturally extends to education, arguing that citizens must understand those principles to recognize when government is not working as intended.
Property taxes are another issue Sherman says he consistently hears about while traveling the state, particularly from seniors and Iowans on fixed incomes.
Sherman added that he supports exploring ways to reduce or eliminate property taxes on primary residences for retirees, saying the goal should be to keep seniors in their homes and families rooted in Iowa communities.
Asked what distinguishes him from other candidates in the race, Sherman pointed to both the timing of his campaign and his background.
He added that voters can expect him to govern independently, guided by constitutional principles rather than donor influence.
Sherman is one of several candidates seeking the governor’s office in 2026.
