There is a lot of discussion right now in both Washington and Des Moines about raising taxes. The Republican Party of Iowa believe we must continue to be the party for limited government and less regulation. We believe we elected Republicans in order to lower our taxes and restore our individual freedoms.

Please click here to take a quick poll on your stance on taxes in Iowa including the possibility of increasing taxes on all Iowa residents.

Last Thursday the Republican Party of Iowa opened another Victory Office, this time in Dubuque. The office is located at 2600 Dodge Street Unit NW 2, Dubuque, IA 52003. Jason Joseph, runs the Dubuque office so be sure to give him a call to sign up to door knock or make phone calls: 563-503-9107.

At the office opening 1st Congressional District candidate Ben Lange was on hand, as well as all the local candidates and National Committeman Steve Scheffler, to help fire up the crowd.

Volunteering through these Victory Offices is the single best way to help our Republican candidates up and down the ticket this fall, so be sure to sign up at the Victory office closest to you. We are planning future office openings for the next few weeks so be sure to stay tuned!
Dubuque Office Opening- despite what Steve may tell you, I made more calls than him!

On Friday I issued the call for a Special Nominating Convention for House District 33 in Des Moines. It will take place on Wednesday August 1 at 7 p.m. here at RPI headquarters. Our goal is to have Republican candidates for all seats on the ballot, even in some of the most challenging districts. No Democrat should be running unopposed this fall!

Last week we also announced that 6 young Republicans from Iowa were chosen to attend the National Convention in Tampa as pages. Congratulations to Collin Brecher, (Black Hawk), Thomas Day (Scott), Bradley Hobart (Pottawattamie), Eric Koch (Pottawattamie), Spencer Oh (Story), and Taylor Ryan (Dubuque)!

All of these individuals should be proud of their many accomplishments and I know that they will have an amazing time in Tampa. It is motivated young people like Collin, Thomas, Bradley, Eric, Spencer and Taylor that show just how strong the future of our party is.
