I have known Adam Steen since he was in his 20s. He is not a career politician; he’s a professional baseball player turned businessman who knows how to get things done successfully.

I worked alongside Adam first as a consultant and then later as an employee. He was the best boss I’ve ever had! I observed firsthand that he is a master at problem-solving, conflict resolution, fairness, and project management.

Since being appointed five years ago by Governor Reynolds as director of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS), he has worked diligently to downsize state agencies from 37 to 16, cutting waste and saving taxpayers millions of dollars. His common-sense approach to efficiently running our state operations and budget reflects his extraordinary ability to make sound business decisions.

Iowa deserves Adam Steen; he is the CEO we need. He is equipped to begin making a difference for Iowans on day one.

I have watched him mature as a person, a dad, a businessman, and a Christian. I’m supporting Adam Steen for governor not only for his policies, values, integrity, and experience, but because I believe he is the only person who can beat Rob Sand in November. Please get out and vote for Adam Steen on June 2.
