“ In a democracy, successful people pay taxes.”

If you aren’t paying taxes, 1) you aren’t successful, or 2) you are not living in a strong democracy.

JUST IN: Warren Buffett just said Berkshire Hathaway paid a total of $26.8 BILLION to the 🇺🇸 IRS in taxes in 2024

That's roughly 5% of what ALL of corporate America paid

[David Weaver @DavidDavidweave]

@ZachLahn Grew up in Hinton, bought the family farm 250 miles away in Belle Plaine.

Must have been a logistical nightmare.

Zach Lahn farmer math.

@af_iowa @ParkerCary8 Conflict of interest you say?

[Truth Hertz @TruthHertz357]

@FrankBr05713205 I went to Lane Tech in Chicago and we had wood shop, electrical shop, machine shop, auto shop, and foundry. More schools should have shop classes and this country needs to build more trade schools. Getting a college degree isn't as relevant as it used to be.

@ZachLahn @terralhernandez You gonna do the 4 debates and 100 town halls (in Iowa) that Rob Sand is calling for?

[David Weaver @DavidDavidweave]

@kkloewer09 Tell us more about the Steve King endorsement.

Does Lahn plan to have a confederate flag on the Governor’s desk if elected?

Or a Kansas state flag?

Kansas was officially on the Union side during the Civil War.

Bro you can't lie your way out of this one.

[Patrick Rynard @patrynard]

It's a week after his primary win and Zach Lahn is having a Twitter crashout instead of doing any real messaging, responding to people with like 100 followers

[Patrick Rynard @patrynard]

Does this look like the resume of a ""farmer" / "businessman"? Who does political operative Zach Lahn think he's going to fool?

2009-2011: Colorado First!

2011-2013: Montana First!

2013-2014: Iowa First! (Yea!)

2014-2015: Montana First! (again)

2015-2018: America First!

2018-present: Wichita First and Iowa 1A, and it he wins gubernatorial race it will be Iowa First as humanly possible!

[David Weaver @DavidDavidweave]

@SteveDeaceShow @ZachLahn Blows my mind that he didn’t run for Governor in Kansas.

Born in Sioux City, grew up in Hinton, but the family farm is in Belle Plaine? 250 miles away?

I mean I got questions.

6th generation Iowan but I hear nothing about his parents or where he grew up.

[David Weaver @DavidDavidweave]

@SteveDeaceShow @ZachLahn Was Zach involved with his current wife (Annie) while he was still with his first wife (Lauren) and she (Lauren) was pregnant?

And is his “2nd” home the one in Iowa or the one in Kansas?

I.e. which home did he own first?

[David Weaver @DavidDavidweave]

So, if you win, you WON'T be moving your family to Iowa?

Got it.

[Zach Lahn @ZachLahn]

This is a complete lie.

I'm a 6th generation Iowan living on the same farm that's been in our family for 125 years.

I never said anything like this. Notice there's no quote? It's because they don't have one. I didn't say it.

The paper's already made two corrections to this garbage story.

By the time our lawyers get finished, we expect a third.

Here's the thing:

Rob Sand claims to be a different kind of politician, but he started this campaign by lying about me and my children in a deeply personal way.

Meanwhile, Rob thinks every illegal deserves a place in Iowa. But our family isn't Iowa enough for him?

Now you know everything there is to know about who we're really up against in this campaign.

Buckle up.

@ZachLahn What a great opportunity to accept his challenge of 4 debates and 100 public town halls with 2 weeks public notice!

@Acyn Louder please for the voters in the back.

I know we have some problems in the midwest but did anyone consider that maybe we could fix them if only we grew more corn and soybeans?
