To the editor:

In Iowa, your word is your bond, but actions speak louder than words.

Sen. Chuck Grassley is a lifelong family farmer who understands the value of hard work, community, education, and family. He grew up on a farm in New Hartford. Iowa values run bone deep and through every vein of his body. This is demonstrated in the way he carries himself and represents our state. Grassley fights for fairness, common sense, and prosperity for future generations.

I’ve been lucky to get to know Sen. Grassley over the past several years and he has always responded to any issues or concerns I have had or the business I have been involved with have had.

Our country faces serious economic and political problems, almost more than ever before.

I feel we need a trusted leader with the experience to help us weather the storm and bring common sense back to Washington.

Sen. Grassley has never forgotten he works for all of us and not the swamp in D.C. I trust him. When Grassley speaks up and fights for something, people listen. Sen. Grassley is exactly that senator, and we’re lucky to have him.

Please join me in supporting Sen. Grassley as he runs for re-election!
