Des Moines, IA (06/1/2026)  - Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Nicholas Gluba and U.S. Senate candidate Thomas Laehn will submit petition signatures to the Iowa Secretary of State's Office on Tuesday, June 2, at 11:00 a.m., marking a major milestone in their efforts to provide Iowa voters with a principled alternative in the November election.
Gluba will submit approximately 7,500 signatures gathered from voters across the state—more than double the 3,500 signatures required for gubernatorial ballot access. Iowa law also requires at least 100 signatures from voters in at least 19 counties, requirements the campaign has exceeded.
The signatures were collected through a statewide grassroots effort involving volunteers and supporters in communities across Iowa. The filing underscores the growing number of Iowans who want an alternative to the same two parties that have dominated Iowa politics for generations.
"While Republicans and Democrats are buying their seats with out-of-state money, I am earning mine the Iowa way — putting miles on the car, miles on the boots, and meeting voters across this state," said Gluba.
Laehn will submit nearly 10,000 signatures at the Secretary of State’s Office. Laehn's petition filing will formally place his U.S. Senate campaign before Iowa voters, offering a real alternative for the growing number of Iowans who are frustrated with business as usual in Washington. With congressional approval at 10%, according to an April 2026 Gallup poll, Laehn's campaign speaks directly to voters who are tired of sending the same two parties to Washington and getting the same results.
“I am not running against the Republican candidate. I am not running against the Democratic candidate,” Laehn said. “I am running against the two-party system itself.”
 
Members of the media are invited to attend the petition filing.

I was invited this weekend to speak to the @LPNational as they held their 2026 convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Here's what I told them about independent journalism, and the three government lists they should all aspire to be on:

No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.

Thank you @RepBost for cosponsoring HR 645, the National Constitutional Carry Act.

@GigglingGanon Who is the victim in this criminal infraction? 🤔

-Rasmussen called what lawmakers did this session “performative.”

Year after year of the same... lots of talk about preserving your rights, no action.
