IOWA FIRST.
Oliver's Policy Commitments to Reviving a Spirit of Freedom in Iowa
I am dedicated to bringing back the spirit of FREEDOM to every aspect of our lives here in Iowa. We are the heartland, and we have the potential to be a beacon of hope and liberty for the rest of the nation. My policy commitments are focused on ensuring that Iowa remains a place where families can thrive, businesses can grow, and our communities can flourish. By addressing key areas such as economic freedom, healthcare, education, and more, we can foster a vibrant and prosperous future for all Iowans.
ECONOMIC FREEDOM
The economy is broken. Bidenomics is affecting us all. Interest rates have skyrocketed, grocery prices are higher than ever before, and fuel prices are through the roof. Here in Iowa, it’s time to take decisive action:
-
Lower our State Income Tax to 0 Percent: By eliminating state income tax, we can increase disposable income for all Iowans, making our state more attractive for residents and businesses alike.
-
Lower Real Estate Taxes: Reducing property taxes will make homeownership more affordable, encourage investment in real estate, and stimulate the housing market.
-
Shrink Government: We need to reduce the size of government, cutting unnecessary regulations and bureaucracy that stifle innovation and economic growth. This will create a more efficient and responsive government that serves the people.
-
Put Iowa Businesses FIRST: Supporting local businesses is crucial. We will prioritize policies that help Iowa’s small businesses thrive, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to grow and create jobs.
By focusing on these key areas, we can restore economic freedom in Iowa, fostering a vibrant and prosperous economy for all.
HEALTH FREEDOM
Every Iowan has been negatively affected by soaring healthcare expenses. From health insurance to medical costs, it's out of control. My healthcare policies will center around the following key areas:
-
Lowering Healthcare Costs: We will implement policies that drive down the cost of healthcare, making it more affordable for all Iowans. This includes promoting competition among providers, reducing administrative overhead, and leveraging technology to improve efficiency.
-
Ensuring that Our Veterans Are Supported: Our veterans have made immense sacrifices for our country, and they deserve the best care possible. We will prioritize policies that provide comprehensive healthcare services to veterans, including mental health support and streamlined access to VA services.
-
Standing for Health Freedom: Iowans should have the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions without excessive government interference. We will fight against mandates that restrict personal choice and advocate for patient rights and medical autonomy.
-
Promoting Informed Consent: Ensuring that Iowans are fully informed about their healthcare options and the potential risks and benefits of treatments is crucial. We will support policies that enhance transparency and uphold the principle of informed consent.
By focusing on these critical areas, we can create a healthcare system that is more affordable, accessible, and responsive to the needs of all Iowans.

EDUCATION FREEDOM
Every child deserves access to a quality education that best fits their individual needs, no matter where they live. That's why we passed school choice. I am committed to improving Iowa public education by promoting policies that will:
-
Renew a Focus on the Fundamentals and Let Teachers Teach: We will emphasize the importance of core subjects such as reading, math, science, and history, allowing teachers the freedom to focus on delivering these essential skills without unnecessary administrative burdens or political distractions.
-
Revive Our Technical and Trades Programs: Technical and vocational education is crucial for preparing students for successful careers in the trades. We will invest in and expand these programs to provide students with practical skills and career opportunities right out of high school.
-
Provide an Educational Space Free from Identity Politics: Our schools should be places of learning, free from the divisive influence of identity politics. We will ensure that classrooms are focused on education, not political indoctrination, fostering an environment where all students can thrive.
-
Promote Fairness in Girls' Sports by Continuing to Allow Them the Freedom to Compete: Despite the Biden administration's agenda, we are committed to protecting the integrity of girls' sports, ensuring that female athletes have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field. This includes upholding policies that recognize the biological differences between male and female athletes.
-
Protect Iowa's Young Women's Private and Most Vulnerable Spaces: The safety and privacy of young women in schools is paramount. We will champion policies that protect their right to private spaces, such as restrooms and locker rooms, ensuring they feel safe and respected.
By focusing on these critical areas, we can create an educational system that meets the diverse needs of all Iowa students and prepares them for a bright and successful future.

The first question I always ask regarding any policy or legislation is "How will this affect the FREEDOMS of my fellow Iowans?"
