Earlier this week, ABI members had the opportunity to hear from Zach Lahn, candidate for Iowa Governor. Lahn spoke about his upbringing, how it influenced his decision to run for Governor and his vision for the future of Iowa.

ABI members previously heard from Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rob Sand at ABI’s Taking Care of Business Conference in June.

By engaging with both candidates, ABI is helping ensure they understand what businesses need to grow and the important role a strong business community plays in Iowa’s future.
