Would you hire a guy who told you he’d show up to work “as much as humanly possible”? Well, that’s Kansan Zach Lahn’s pitch to Iowa. Lahn told the Des Moines Register if he is elected governor of Iowa, he would be in our state ”as much as humanly possible.” Would you give him the job?

Zach Lahn lives in Kansas and he told the Des Moines Register if he is elected governor of Iowa, he would be in our state ”as much as humanly possible.” A part time Iowan can’t be a full time governor.

Medicaid cuts are shuttering rural hospitals and clinics across Iowa. But Zach Lahn? He supported those cuts and cuts to cancer research. Lahn even supports banning some forms of cancer research. Lahn can jump on his plane and fly back to Kansas for care. But rural Iowans can’t.

100,000 Iowans without healthcare. Rural hospitals closing. That was Zach Lahn’s vision. Lahn ran a campaign to oppose Medicaid expansion. Maybe billionaire-lackey Lahn doesn’t care about Iowa since he hasn’t lived here for years.

Zach Lahn chose to run for governor of Iowa…while living in Kansas. But even worse: the guy who he picked as his running mate, to be in charge during Lahn’s absence, is under criminal investigation. Derek Wulf is accused of theft and fraud. Even stealing hogs from a neighbor. If that’s who Zach Lahn picked as his right-hand man, there’s no way we can leave Iowa in Lahn’s hands.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
