2nd Iowa solider killed in Kuwait, officials say A second Iowa solider was killed in Kuwait on Sunday, officials said.

More tragic news. Another Iowan lost their life. Rest in peace to Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien from Indianola. Thank you for your service. www.kwqc.com/app/2026/03/...

I've had enough, and I think Iowans have, too.

Declaration of Independents - OPEN-PRIMARIES 2026 marks the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Its promise remains unfinished. Today, 45% of Americans are independent, but are second-class citizens. We are independent for a…

I’ve been saying this for years – every year on the 4th of July we celebrate Independence Day after denying independent voters the same rights at the ballot box. It’s wrong. I signed this, others should too! openprimaries.org/declaration-...

A photo of a press release that reads: Rob Sand Campaign Responds to Blatant Lie from Randy Feenstra DES MOINES, IA – Today, Republican candidate for governor Randy Feenstra released a new ad lying about Rob Sand’s record, falsely claiming Rob would refuse to stand to protect American citizens. Immediately following the State of the Union, Rob appeared on WHO’s The Simon Conway Show and answered this question point-blank: Simon: “If you’d have been in that Chamber, would you have stood up or stayed sat down?” Rob: “I would have stood up and I would’ve applauded. I think that’s pretty basic…”

Randy Feenstra is lying to Iowans. Again.

Okoboji Community Schools receive 'PIE Award' from Rob Sand A northwest Iowa school district received a “sweet” award on Monday from Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand.

The PIE program is all about finding efficiencies & saving tax dollars. And eating more pie.

A governor should have the authority to respond to emergencies, shape the budget, and hold government officials accountable. Instead, political insiders are changing the rules because they know I'm ready to hold them accountable and put an end to their corruption.

Not EVERYTHING online needs to be political - especially lunch.

If you visit Bridgewater, Iowa (pop. 148) watch out for La Familia Frese! Three brothers that really run things! (Just kidding- everyone knows the city clerk Mary Dunn is the real muscle behind the operation.) Congrats on your PIE Award for govt efficiency!

Big budget surplus = good.
Using that surplus for wasteful spending = not good.

Right now, Iowa is spending $300 million on an unaccountable voucher program while constitutionally underfunding public education. That’s not an accident — it’s a choice.

Term limits? Easy answer: yes, I support them.

Auditor: Iowa's privatized Medicaid illegally denies care A state audit has found that Iowa’s privatized Medicaid system has illegally denied services or care to program recipients, and both private insurance companies managing the system have violated…

In 2020, as Auditor, my office found a nearly 900% increase in illegal denials of care after Iowa privatized Medicaid. This experiment failed. As governor, I will take the steps to reverse it. apnews.com/article/busi...

A good friend shared with me the other day that hit me like a ton of bricks. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

Iowa public schools used to be our state’s crown jewel. Now, we’re middle of the pack at best. I'm a proud product of Iowa public schools, and want us to get back to the top because that's what our students deserve. #PublicSchoolWeek

A photo of Rob Sand listening to an Iowan ask a question during the 2025 Town Hall Tour.

Iowans are struggling because our elected leaders aren’t focused on the issues that matter. I'm running to lower costs, strengthen the economy, invest in public education, and to deliver for all Iowans.

The 209 has a new home!

I'm a public servant, not a politician. As governor, that will be my mindset - I will do whatever it takes to get things done because that's what Iowa deserves.

Voters from every corner of the state & from every political background are supporting this campaign because they know I'm not focused on party politics - I just want to do what's best for Iowa families.

Insiders in Des Moines have spent a lot of time changing laws to benefit themselves while leaving Iowa taxpayers to cover the bill. Meidas Touch recently asked Rob onto the show to chat about how… Why Kim Reynolds Gut the State Auditor's Office | Rob Sand for Iowa

So the Iowa GOP handcuffed the Auditor's office when I exposed record amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse of tax dollars. Now they are coming for the Governor's Office because they know we have a shot.

They believe if at first you don't succeed, change the rules.

Transparency concerns grow over Iowa’s $314 million private school program As Iowa’s Education Savings Account (ESA) program continues to expand, questions remain about how the state oversees the program and what information about its spending is publicly available. Created…

If you take public dollars, you should follow the same rules as public schools. iowastatedaily.com/331292/news/...

A photo of a Des Moines Register headline that reads "Iowa Senate bill to avert shutdowns spurs broad debate on state budget" with a key points section that reads "An Iowa Senate bill would allow state government funding to continue if lawmakers fail to pass a budget." and "Republicans argue the proposal would prevent government shutdowns while Democrats say it encourages lawmakers to avoid their duties"

Don’t be fooled. Federal government shutdowns have been around for decades. This bill is moving now because the insiders running state government want to lock in their power to spend your money beyond when voters take that power away.
