Reason for Seeking Public Office:

"I'm running because as a doctor I couldn't sit on the sidelines as the Affordable Care Act jeopardizes the healthcare of Iowans. We were promised that premiums would go down and quality and access would go up, but we're seeing the opposite as the law is being implemented.

"Washington is a dysfunctional mess and it's time to send someone there who has real world experience bringing people together to solve problems -- like implementing better patient-centered healthcare reforms and restoring accountability in government.

"As the Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health, I've seen firsthand what can be done when you put partisanship aside and work for the greater good. I want to bring that problem-solving, common-sense Iowa attitude to Congress. Washington needs more of this Iowa approach."
