My experience in professional sports has taught me that it would be awfully difficult, actually impossible, to win a game with just a quarterback on the field or just a single coach on the sideline. If we are to win as Republicans, we must do so as a team.Additionally, I realize in some corners of the state, mine is not yet a household name. This is why I will also be directly reaching out to Republicans statewide. As Republicans, we share the ideology that Washington, DC and Des Moines are not the sole source of wisdom when it comes to public policy, and to our party. Our grassroots activists, county chairs, and local officials are on the frontlines everyday and are an untapped resource of ideas for rebuilding our party. I want to tap into this resource, which is why today I am announcing a series of ten “Pizza & Politics” events to be held across the state to personally introduce myself to our fellow Republicans, as well as receive their input and ideas about moving our party forward.
I look forward to seeing you at a “Pizza & Politics” in your area.
