@ZachLahn Well said. Amazing speech yesterday. I look forward to having a Governor who understands that we can’t truly have freedom without medical freedom and I’m looking forward to working with you in 2027 to end the mandates in Iowa.

@EricWeberK @ZachLahn @DanTwelmeyer Every candidate can buy the list - but not every candidate can afford to text primary voters multiple times per day.

“They told us to trust the science.”

Zach Lahn explains—in plain English—the concerns surrounding the COVID shot, spike protein persistence, and cellular suppression pathways like P53.

Zach, this ad is amazing. I don’t think I fully shared with you last week how involved I’ve been in this battle.

From writing articles to engaging with legislators, testifying in subcommittees, bringing experts like Dr. James Lindsay to meet with legislators, and hosting detransitioners like Chloe Cole and Laura Becker here in Iowa—I was deeply involved in this fight.

I also helped promote back-to-basics petitions to have this removed from our schools, and last spring I was directly involved in helping get the DEI bill passed that banned it from state-funded schools and institutions.

It was great to hear you say on my podcast what I’ve been saying for a long time:
“This is a battle for the hearts and minds of our children.”

[Oliver Bardwell @oliverbwell]

This ad is refreshing - We've been battling DEI and SEL at the State Capitol for years now, putting out Calls to Action, engaging with legislators and bringing in passionate Detransitioners like @ChloeCole and @LauraBeckerReal. I brought @ConceptualJames Dr. James Lindsay to the Capitol to meet with legislators and had him the podcast. We've made real progress but there's more to be done.

[Zach Lahn @ZachLahn]

Freedom is never guaranteed, it must be taught, defended, and renewed by every generation.

When I’m governor, we will reclaim our education system and restore it to the people of Iowa.

@ZachLahn — one of the most in-depth conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

Farming. Water quality. Cancer rates. Education. No talking points — real discussion.

I’ve been saying this for years.

[Zach Lahn @ZachLahn]

Degrees at Iowa Universities need to be focused on preparing Iowa kids for Iowa jobs - so they can stay in Iowa.

This is also why the trades are so important.

Not as a political buzz word but because they train Iowans in jobs that add value to their communities to build deep long term roots.

This article says that UI is ending degrees in gender and sexuality studies and many related to those - a great start.

@RobertKennedyJc MAHA!

[Oliver Bardwell @oliverbwell]

The new food pyramid. Thank you.

[HHS @HHSGov]

Under President Trump’s leadership, common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability have been restored to federal food and health policy.

For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans.

That ends today.

The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.

[Oliver Bardwell @oliverbwell]

@lexfridman Thanks Brother. I love your optimism.

[Oliver Bardwell @oliverbwell]

@realSonjaShaw You’re right. They are cowards. Keep fighting. This is why we passed laws to protect girls sports and private spaces in Iowa. I feel the same way and have been fighting on the front lines since day one.
