Rob Sand for Iowa

6/23/2026

DES MOINES, IA – Today, nominee for governor Rob Sand released a new ad, “Crisis,” outlining the ongoing crises facing Iowa families after a decade of one-party control. This is part of an ongoing 6-figure statewide ad buy across all platforms – TV, streaming, and digital. From a plummeting economy, sky-rocketing housing costs thanks to out-of-state hedge funds buying up Iowa homes and land, an ongoing water quality crisis, and politicians who do the bidding for special interests and powerful insiders, Iowa’s current elected leaders have done nothing to solve some of the state’s toughest challenges. 

“As a native Iowan, I know we can’t afford a repeat of the farm crisis, but a decade of one-party control is putting us dangerously close,” said nominee for governor Rob Sand. “The system is broken, but we can’t fix it with another four years of the same status quo that has been failing Iowa families. Iowans want a new direction, and a leader they can count on to put them first and hold powerful insiders and special interests accountable. As governor, I will get to work unrigging the system, holding powerful insiders accountable, and putting Iowa families first, just like I’ve done throughout my career.” 

WATCH:

Rob has released several policy plans over the course of this campaign, including his “Accountability for All” and “Healthier Iowa for All” plans that outline common-sense, good government reforms like holding corrupt public officials accountable and denying immunity for chemical companies sickening Iowans.

Rob: I was just a kid, but the scars of the Farm Crisis still hurt for many Iowans. 

Now, we’re in an economic crisis again. Fueled by corruption and greed. 

Hedge funds buy up homes and land, pricing out Iowa families and farmers. 

Chemical companies get immunity for polluting our water.

Data centers get tax breaks while our taxes go up.

The system is broken. 

I’m Rob Sand. I’ll take on the insiders that rigged it.

Bring back accountability. And I’ll work only for you.
