Greiner Launches Official Campaign for Iowa State Senate

Former Iowa Legislator Sandy Greiner, a Republican from Keota, formally announced her campaign for Iowa State Senate. District 45 is currently represented by Democrat Becky Schmitz, encompasses parts of Johnson, and Wapello, as well as Washington, Jefferson and Van Buren Counties.

I want to go to Des Moines to restore fiscal responsibility and accountability to our statehouse. Instead of spending our state further in debt, we need to help create an environment for job growth, by lessening regulatory burdens and taxes on small businesses.

Since Greiner left office in 2008, the state of Iowa has increased spending by nearly one billion dollars, and added almost $1 billion dollars in new debt.
Sandy Greiner said, “I want to go to Des Moines to restore fiscal responsibility and accountability to our statehouse. Instead of spending our state further in debt, we need to help create an environment for job growth, by lessening regulatory burdens and taxes on small businesses.”
Last year, the Democrat legislature voted in favor of $600 million dollars in bonds for the so-called I-JOBS program that was to bring ‘shovel ready’ jobs to Iowa. The reality is increasing unemployment numbers and more debt for future generations.
Greiner added, “I lie awake at night fearful of the debt this state is leaving behind for future generations. Instead of squandering our grandchildren’s money; we should be fostering an economic environment that welcomes entrepreneurship and job growth, not burdensome taxes and spending.
“I want to restore Iowa to the great state it once was. A place everyone could call home, provide a solid living for their family, where education and opportunities were unlimited. “
Sandy Greiner served in the Iowa Legislature from 1992 through 2008 when she decided not to seek reelection. Sandy is known throughout the community and state as a strong advocate for agri-business, fiscal responsibility and the family.
