🎙️ New Episode | Bridging the Divide

I recently sat down with Jesse Green and Henry Stone for a long-form, candid conversation about where Iowa is right now—and what it will take to govern well in a divided moment.

We talk openly about the growing divide between the Iowa House and Senate, the fallout from last session’s eminent domain battle, and why property taxes continue to be the number one issue I heard while knocking thousands of doors across the state.

But this conversation goes beyond policy.

We also dig into public health governance, education, school choice, fiscal responsibility, and the realities of legislating in a supermajority. And we spend time on something that rarely gets discussed honestly—faith, character, and how personal conviction shapes leadership and decision-making.

This isn’t a soundbite episode.
It’s a thoughtful, substantive conversation meant to inform—not inflame.

If you care about Iowa’s future and about bridging divides rather than deepening them, I think you’ll find this one worth your time.
