Tom Hoefling Candidate Statement to
2014 Iowa Caucus Attendees:
Welcome to the 2014 Caucus! My name is Tom Hoefling, and I’m from Lohrville, in Calhoun County. I’m running for governor because I believe that Iowa Republicans deserve to have a choice in the June 3rd primary election, a conservative choice. After all, the word “election” means “choice.”
I have a proven track record of more than twenty years of consistently fighting for the bedrock principles upon which republicanism rests, across Iowa, and across the nation.
In brief, I support Representative Tom Shaw’s House file 138, which will ban abortion and restore equal protection to all persons in our state. I defend one man-one woman marriage and believe that any judge who exceeds his authority must be removed. I fully support the passage of Constitutional Carry legislation, and oppose any law or regulation that in any way infringes on our God-given right to keep and bear arms. I strongly oppose Common Core. It must die. In fact, we must go even further and restore true local control of our schools, which means, of course, restoring control of our education dollars to parents and local taxpayers. And last, I believe that real economic development can only occur with public policies that equally protect and benefit all Iowans, not just a favored few.
I offer our Unity Platform to you as a principled, practical, concise alternative to the party platform of recent years, a document which has become too convoluted to be as useful as it should be in holding our elected officials to account.
For Iowa, for America, for our Posterity,
Tom Hoefling

• The God-ordained institution of one man-one woman marriage must be preserved.
• The right of the people to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.
