   I am persuaded Adam Steen is a man of God who doesn’t need to wear a cross or some other symbolic mantle to reveal who he is. Adam is brave and courageous. Adam is a mighty warrior and a protector of goodness against all things evil as witnessed by his stance against satanic forces within the walls of our state capitol. He has already got my vote.

   Republicans should definitely vote for Adam Steen for governor.

   Adam Steen is the best candidate for governor by far. The guy is brilliant. If you haven’t heard him speak in person, as I have, than look online for any debate or interview he has participated in. Adam’s experience as the head of the Iowa Department of Administrative Services, as well as his experience in business, make him extremely knowledgeable about Iowa government, the problems facing our state, and possible solutions.

   There isn’t much he doesn’t know and, if he doesn’t know it, he will find out.

   Adam Steen has made two appearances before the Warren County Republicans that I attended. At one I asked him what he would do to eliminate China domiciled stocks from the holdings of the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS}.

   This was an issue which has concerned me since I found out that, as of 2020, IPERS held $943 million of investments in China and Hong Kong domiciled companies, which was “2.63% of the IPERS Trust Fund.”

   In December of 2025, I found that had been reduced. Nonetheless, IPERS informed me that “As of 11/30/2025, IPERS estimates that roughly 1.2% of the $46 billion IPERS Trust Fund is invested in companies domiciled in China and Hong Kong.”

   During the first meeting, Adam Steen replied that he thought the issue was being handled, but he would find out. I assumed that was the last response I would receive.

   At his next appearance, I had the chance to talk to him. To my surprise, he recalled me and my concern. He had checked and found out that the amount of China domiciled stocks in IPERS had been reduced by half, which corresponded with the information IPERS had given me. He said that, due to accounting reasons, they could not dump all the stocks at once.

   I was just a face in the crowd, but Adam Steen came through and found out what was going on with IPERS China stocks.
   Adam Steen has dealt with Rob Sand before in Adam’s role as head of DAS. Steen said the Democrats do not want to see Adam Steen on the debate stage with Rob Sand. I believe him. Steen will rip the mask off.

   Vote for Adam Steen for Governor.
