On a list of things folks know about me (Iowa, skateboarder, famously frugal, etc.), I’m a pie guy.

It’s a top-tier dessert, no notes — but that’s not the only pie I dig.

As State Auditor, I started our P.I.E. (Public Innovations and Efficiencies) program to lower costs and provide more efficient, sustainable government services.

The program is aimed at cutting government waste and modernizing our systems. Like energy efficient windows in public buildings.

Before I go on: If you support more efficient government and responsible use of your tax dollars — a novel concept, I know — I hope you’ll chip in a few bucks toward my campaign for governor!

I’ve got P.I.E. (and let’s be honest, normal pie, too) on the brain because I’ve been handing out our 2025 P.I.E. awards to recipients who have done their due diligence to improve government efficiency and cut wasteful spending.

Good work, regardless of who’s doing it, deserves recognition.

Pushing for more government efficiency, while also restoring oversight and accountability, are huge parts of why I’m running for governor. Iowans want and deserve more.

If and when I’m elected governor, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that our government is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Iowans are hungry for a system that they trust is working with their best interests in mind. Will you please chip in $25 to elect a governor who will make accountability, efficiency, and transparency top priorities?
