Rowley announces
2026 re-election campaign
Thank you, Dickinson, Clay, Emmet, Palo Alto, Winnebago and Kossuth Counties for your support throughout my first term representing District 5 in the Iowa Senate. The last several years in the Iowa Senate have been incredible as I continue to fight for conservative policies and common sense solutions to help make Iowa a great place for families to live and grow.
During my term our state has seen some amazing accomplishments. We eliminated taxes on retirement income, implemented a 3.8% flat income tax rate, and provided farmers a first-time pension exemption. While more work needs to be done on property taxes, I supported expansive reform saving property taxpayers more than $100 million statewide. This year we continued building on all those successes. We passed one billion dollars in tax relief for small businesses, banned taxpayer money from being used for transgender surgeries, and prohibited local entities from engaging in DEI activities ensuring Iowans are hired on the basis of merit.
I am an Iowa State Senator fighting for common-sense legislation that supports our constitutional rights, families and the unborn. I am a conservative Republican who believes in the principles our forefathers built this great nation upon. I find inspiration from our forefather’s vision. I am wholly committed to protecting our Constitutional rights, our individual liberties and the freedoms this great nation was built upon.
I am a home-grown Iowan. I was born in Cedar Rapids and have lived in Western Iowa for almost 40 years. My wife Kris and I have lived in Spirit Lake Iowa for 30 years where we raised our family of four children.
I Believe
I believe in our Constitutional rights, in a government by the people and for the people, and I believe in our God-given individual liberties and freedoms.
I believe in supporting our families by providing quality education, employment opportunities and a bright future for our children.
I believe that our Midwest roots, our history and heritage exemplify the heart and soul of Iowa and our country, offering the very best qualities of commitment, discernment and responsible leadership.
I believe governance demands statesmanship and vision and that the United States Constitution is the foundation on which our country must always stand. I am in awe of the courage of President Lincoln and the passion of President Reagan. I am a Republican.
I believe that the state of Iowa is a great place to live, work and raise a family. Our communities nurture faith, family, education, work ethics and respect for the rule of law. Iowa provides opportunities for all Iowans to reach for high standards, to live a life with meaning.
