Statewide Iowa (RI) — Zach Lahn, the Republican candidate for governor, says he’s started a movement by promising to tackle big issues such as consolidation in agriculture, which he argues neither party is addressing.
Lahn made his comments Friday to a crowd of about 100 in Tama. It was his first public appearance since speaking at the Republican Party’s state convention on June 6th. Lahn, who grew up near Sioux City, bought his grandparents’ family farm near Belle Plaine in 2014, restored the farmhouse, and moved back to Iowa in 2023.
On Friday, Lahn used his speech in Tama to respond to Democrats and his General Election opponent Rob Sand, who question whether Lahn is a part-time Iowan because flight records for his plane show he flies to Kansas about once a week.
Sand is scheduled to hold town hall events in eight northwest and north-central counties this week.
