Brad Sherman, a former State Representative, pastor, businessman, community leader, husband, father, and grandfather, is officially announcing his Republican candidacy for Governor of Iowa in 2026. Sherman is a steadfast advocate for freedom, limited government, and the protection of your Constitutional rights. He is committed to strengthening Iowa’s economy, educational systems, and upholding the values that have made Iowa a great place to live, work, and raise families.
Sherman’s campaign will focus on a platform of defending Iowans’ rights against eminent domain abuse, encouraging fiscal responsibility, promoting family values, and returning government to the foundational principles that made America great.
“The foundational values upon which our liberties rest have been dangerously undermined and now we’re at a crossroads.” said Sherman. “As Governor, I will work hard to restore the foundations of freedom and stand for the constitutional rights of every individual, ensuring that Iowa remains a welcoming place for faith, families, and thriving businesses.”
“From Keokuk to Canton, from New Albin to Hamburg, from Davenport to Des Moines, from Sioux City to Iowa City, I am running to be a Governor for those who live everywhere across our great state. This is not merely a campaign; this is a movement to revitalize the heart and soul of our state. I look forward to working with President Trump – who I endorsed early and supported in rallies, caucuses, conventions, and elections – in his agenda to restore the America we love.”
The Sherman campaign will be holding a launch event on Saturday, February 22 at a private hangar at Mason City Municipal Airport starting at 2pm.
