  • As a proud dad of two boys, I know that keeping our kids safe is priority number 1. As a prosecutor, I helped put away predators and even murderers. As governor, I’ll invest in public safety and work with law enforcement to keep Iowa the best – and safest – place to raise a family.

  • Rob Sand has received support from law enforcement leaders of every political stripe across Iowa – because they know keeping Iowa families safe isn’t partisan. As a prosecutor, Rob helped lock up dangerous criminals. As auditor, he uncovered record amounts of misspent tax dollars. And as governor, he will make jail time mandatory for corrupt public officials who steal our tax dollars – no matter their political party.

  • Iowa has a $1.3 billion budget shortfall! You’re wondering what the guys in charge are smoking? I don’t know, but here’s a plan to fix it: Let’s legalize and tax cannabis like alcohol to help fill our budget shortfall. Twenty four other states have done it. And they’ve used the money to pay for roads and schools. Cops can focus on addressing bigger problems, making all Iowans safer. And we can leave pot smokers alone.

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.
