Well, I'm pro-life, and I've been pretty clear about that. So I think we should do everything we can to protect the unborn.

Every day is an opportunity for me to learn - that's how I've approached life.

I just hope by how I live my life every day that people can see there is another side to addiction. You can live with it and have a successful life.

I am a firm believer that you can make a mistake but that shouldn't define you. Everybody deserves a second chance.

Technology is impacting everything we do on a daily basis.

I'm the No. 1 cheerleader for the state of Iowa.

I make it clear when asked where I stand on specific issues, and I'll continue to do that.

The harder you work the luckier you get.

Who's going to be against getting workers the skills they need to be successful?

Who's going to be against making sure students have the education for a knowledge economy?

We're going to continue to look for ways that we can make our state competitive.

There are few things as powerful as the joy of someone who got a second chance and found their purpose.

I've raised my children to respect that flag, to stand, to put their hand across their heart and to recognize those sacrifices that have been made and I believe they're raising their children with that same belief.

We have to do everything we can to help students and adult learners to prepare for the careers of today as well as the careers of tomorrow.

I just believe that we should never stop fighting on behalf of the unborn and that's what we're going to do.

I won't stop until every Iowan has an opportunity to succeed.

What a country and state we live in where a small-town girl from rural Iowa can become governor and have the opportunity to serve Iowans at the highest level.

Farmers in Iowa know that I've been out there, and manufacturers, fighting for them every single day.

My vision is to give the people of Iowa a place to call home that unleashes opportunity at every turn.

I believe that Iowa is - and ought to be - a place where, if you're willing to work for it, you can make your dreams come true.

In a small town, everyone works together and does life together, and because of that everyone takes care of each other. That's Iowa. Whether it's Des Moines or Sioux Center, Decorah or Davenport, Iowans exhibit those small-town values. They work hard, but not so much for themselves. They're ambitious, but not at the expense of others.

If we do that - if we bring prosperity to every corner - then Iowa will remain the best state in the nation.

The amount of start-ups that are being generated from Israel, and it's such a small state, they're looking for markets to really take those businesses in scale. We really, I think, have done a good job of indicating how Iowa is a good place for that.

My journey started in the courthouse and went to the statehouse.

I've had just an amazing opportunity to serve with Gov. Branstad. Not all lieutenant governors have the opportunity to be as involved in the administration as I have had.

I think I'm approachable, I think I'm accessible and I want to make sure that Iowans know that so that they feel comfortable with me.

Don't be afraid to step through some of that uncertainty that you might feel when you're passionate about doing something.

What I've found is that every time you have that uncertainty, if you face it, walk through it, you grow as an individual and gain confidence.

I believe that the definition of marriage is between one man and one woman from a religious aspect. That is my belief. I have stated that. I always have believed that.

As we continue to learn how to live with COVID-19 until a vaccine is available, we'll also learn how to carefully balance not only the health of Iowans but the health of our economy.

Obamacare is unaffordable, unworkable and unsustainable.

Long-term, Congress needs to replace Obamacare with market-driven health reform that's affordable for everyday Iowans and empowers consumers.

Welfare reform passed in the 90s worked because states were given maximum authority along with adequate funding. This model can work for the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

I believe that the Trump-Pence ticket is the team that can turn this country around, improve the lives of Americans and Iowans and especially those of women.

Well for sure I'm conservative.

I grew up in a small town in Iowa, town of about 500 people.

We need to make sure that we have mental health counselors in our schools. We need to make sure that we have possibly a law enforcement security guards in each one of the schools.

We need to look for ways to secure our schools, single-point of entrance.

I've made it pretty clear that I can't legislate or dictate proper behavior. You can't. You do everything that you can.

So often public service comes with sacrifice. A sacrifice that our men and women in uniform make each day.

I will always be a relentless advocate for our farmers, producers, and our way of life.

No parent, family member, or friend should be told that treatment isn't available for their loved one. By establishing a dedicated and stable fund for mental health, we will give hope to so many who are suffering in silence.

People can't work and have the quality of life they deserve if they aren't healthy.

The Invest in Iowa Act is a bold vision for Iowa that lowers the overall tax burden on Iowans, and invests significantly in mental health and water quality.

We have no interest in raising taxes.

When you show no willingness to compromise, then nothing ever happens.

Compromise is part of how we get things done.

Every day, Iowans step up and make a difference together through volunteerism.

Connected communities are fundamental to all aspects of growth and prosperity, and essential to keep our young people and attract others to rural Iowa.

Iowa is speckled with vibrant communities like Wilton, each with its own character and its own story to tell.
