Republican gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn today announced that he will nominate State Representative Derek Wulf to serve as Iowa’s next Lieutenant Governor.
A fourth-generation Iowa farmer, rancher, businessman, and Chair of the Iowa House Agriculture Committee, Wulf has established himself as one of Iowa’s leading conservative voices on agriculture, rural development, and family farm issues. Wulf also served as a co-chair of President Donald Trump’s Farmers for Trump Coalition in Iowa.
“Derek has been an Iowa First fighter for years in the legislature. Whether it was leading on Right to Repair, defending private property rights, or stopping corporate overreach – Derek has been there for Iowans and I am very proud to have him partner with me on this campaign and look forward to serving with him at the Capitol,” said Lahn.
Wulf and his family operate a livestock and crop farm in Northeast Iowa. His wife, Dresden, serves as an Animal Science instructor at Hawkeye Community College, and their daughters compete in rodeo events across Iowa and the Midwest.
As Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, Wulf has championed policies supporting Iowa farmers, including Right to Repair legislation, while advocating for stronger rural communities and economic opportunities throughout the state.
“I’m honored to stand with Zach Lahn as we fight to save Iowa’s future. Our identity, our values, and our way of life are under assault like never before,” said Wulf. “Zach’s decisive primary victory proved Iowans are done with the status quo and ready for an Iowa First agenda that puts our families and communities first. Together, we’ll deliver the results our kids and grandkids will thank us for.”
Wulf’s name will be officially place into nomination before delegates at the Republican State Convention, Saturday, June 13.
