  • 📬 I hope everyone's voting! 🚶‍♂️ Residents are overstretched and local government should be focusing on how to live within its means. As I've said before - disciplined budgeting and an eye toward economic development is our pathway forward in Polk County. I'd be honored to receive your vote, and also encourage a No vote on Measure 120 (Increases gas tax, payroll tax, DMV fees). Electjohnswanson.com

  • I appreciate the kind messages I'm receiving as voters fill out their ballots🙂 Every few months I've posted a countywide donor distribution map because I think it is important to highlight.

  • Yesterday marked the last public forum of the campaign, which was hosted by the Monmouth-Independence Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center. These have been great opportunities and I've enjoyed the series. It's great to see the turnout from citizens looking to stay informed. I've also enjoyed private gatherings and forums - ranging from small, organized coffees - to membership forums hosted by supportive organizations - to even two nights ago when I found myself fielding questions from a roomfu
