For the past year and a half, I've had the good fortune to represent the best city in the state of Iowa--Sioux City. I live on Pierce Street, five blocks from where I grew up on Dearborn in the Lincoln School area. No matter if I'm downtown or at a ball game, people in Sioux City are warm and welcoming, polite and patriotic, and above all respectful of one another. That's true in Leeds, Greenville, Indian Hills, Riverside, Morningside, and the neighborhoods of the north and west side.

I love going door-to-door and as I listen to Sioux City families talk about their lives, I take your ideas and hometown values to the State Capitol in Des Moines. Protecting our great way of life and helping people succeed have always been my goals.

As your State Representative, I try to be direct and straightforward. One of the nicest compliments I can receive is when someone says, "When I need a straight answer, I go to Jeremy." People should be proud of a government that works for them, not a government they feel they have to work for. Whether it's being fiscally responsible with your hard-earned tax dollars, helping grow Sioux City jobs, or working to maximize the potential of Iowa schools, you will find a strong voice for your family. Against the naysayers, we can lower residential and commerical property taxes, reform education, and grow Sioux City's economy. Together, let's stay positive: we can do this!

Here's wishing you and your loved ones a great season of life, and I look forward to continuing to represent you and your family well in Des Moines. "I'd be honored to have your support!"
