.@ZachLahn: "Paraquat is used in laboratory settings to induce Parkinsons in rats and mice... It's currently used on hundreds of thousands of acres in Iowa. It's made by a Chinese company, but the Chinese government bans the use of it in their own country... Farmers are ready for products like that to be off the market."

.@ZachLahn: "You can call it whatever you want— Socialism, Marxism, Communism— but ultimately it has this idea that the collective is more important than the individual and this what resulted in over 100 million deaths across the world."

WATCH: @ZachLahn discuses his plan for water quality: - Fully fund IWiLL. - Embrace innovative technologies like saturated buffers. - Create incentives to reduce runoff. - Fund water quality monitors.

.@ZachLahn: "The United States of America did something that was new and radical in the face of all human history... They actually put inside our documents this idea that all men are created equal... No country has ever been perfect, but there's never been a country that has tried to be perfect like the United States."

Zach Lahn will create a program that allows every kid who graduates from an Iowa high school to invest their income taxes into an account that can be used on a down payment for their first home: "It sends a message that Iowa wants you to stay."

FACT: Rob has received $13 million from the owners of the largest privately held chemical company in Iowa. They have been repeatedly cited and fined for polluting Iowa's water. Rob Lauridsen is clearly spiraling now that the truth about him is being exposed.

REPORTER: What are three things you'd want the legislature to get to your desk in the first 100 days? @ZachLahn: IWiLL funding... Farm Freedom Bills... Change economic incentive dollars to invest more money in Iowa's homegrown businesses and entrepreneurs.

Iowa gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn shares the devastating story of a fifth-generation farmer facing the loss of his family’s farm and home. “I was in Sioux City, and I had a town hall where at the very end there was one person left in the room and he was waiting to talk to me.” “I actually went to middle school with him, I didn’t recognize him.” “And he came up to me and said, ‘I filed for bankruptcy on my 5th generation farm today. I might lose my home, my parents might lose their home, we might lose everything.’” “I have now heard that same story from dozens of people across the state.” “This is something that’s not being talked about enough right now about what’s going on in agriculture.” “A lot of it has to do with the consolidation we’re seeing and farmers are being treated as price takers.” “I'm always going to be a defender of the family farm and defender of those who are seeing that they're being taken advantage of by large corporations.” @ZachLahn

Iowa gov. candidate @ZachLahn (R-IA) on a "never been said before" idea on government and religion: "You all have so much value, that you're created in the image of God... and it is so valuable that even the government must bow to you. That has never been heard of, ever."

Zach Lahn will cut the gas tax in half and make data centers pay for it: "We have a tremendous amount of tax breaks going on for data centers. A temporary suspension of that and a temporary suspension of the fuel tax would even out."

"Our culture has produced something good... something beautiful that is worth protecting-- that has alleviated more poverty, secured more rights, given more prosperity than any country ever has on the face of the Earth and it's not close." "Cultures don't survive because they're written down somewhere. They survive because people believe in them and hold them in their hearts-- because families teach them and institutions carry them forward." - @ZachLahn

.@JDVance exposes Rob Sand for trying to brush aside his far left record: "He's a professional Democrat who now says he doesn't believe in political parties. Rob Sand has spent this entire campaign running away from the things he's spent his career fighting for."

"Our founders said something unique in all of human history and it was put into our founding documents: All men are created equal... that everyone has so much intrinsic worth because you're made in the image of God that even the government must bow to you." - @ZachLahn

Vice President @JDVance destroys Rob Sand: "What kind of a man supports men in women's locker rooms? More importantly, what kind of a man pretends that he doesn't believe that just so he can earn your vote when his own record is there for everybody to see?"

VP @JDVance: "You watch his TV advertisements, Rob Sand says that he's a moderate... but aside from a brief stint as an underwear model in Europe, he has spent his entire career as a partisan servant to the far left."
