Rob Sand: “There are lots of tables in Des Moines that need to be flipped, and that’s why I am running for governor.”

DES MOINES, IA – Last week, candidate for governor Rob Sand made his way to Poweshiek County as part of his 100 Town Hall Tour, stopping at the Big Red Barn at the English Valley Bed and Breakfast, a local business in Montezuma. The Montezuma Record included Rob’s visit on the front page of this week’s paper, noting that Rob spoke to the “75-80 people” in attendance, which included “Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and everyone in between…”

There were smiles up and down the long farm tables at English Valley Bed & Breakfast on Wednesday, Sept. 24. The beautiful setting was overshadowed, just for a moment, as the full room sang “America the Beautiful” in (close to) perfect harmony.
Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and everyone in between sat shoulder to shoulder as they listened to Iowa’s State Auditor, and candidate for governor, Rob Sand.
Sand referred to his track record of uncovering waste and fraud in corporations in the government - and holding both sides of the aisle accountable.
Threaded throughout his presentation was a clear distinction between a politician and a public servant - and the acknowledgement you find both in each party.
He spoke to The Record about his commitment to working with Republicans in the legislature “joyfully and openly” and highlighted his record of promoting Republicans and Independents in his department.
Informed by his personal faith, Sand spoke of the examples of Jesus feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and healing the sick.
“There are lots of tables in Des Moines that need to be flipped,” he continued, “and that’s why I am running for governor.”
