Republican Announces Governor’s Run
DES MOINES, IOWA – On Wednesday morning, the steps of the Iowa State Capitol echoed with energy as Republican State Representative Eddie Andrews officially entered the race for Governor. Backed by a crowd of supporters, Andrews vowed to restore faith-based leadership, fiscal responsibility, and family-first policies to Iowa’s top office.
Championing Education Reform and Parental Rights
In his announcement, Rep. Andrews made education a top priority. He pledged to put parents back in control of their children’s schooling by expanding access to school choice—supporting public, private, charter, and homeschooling alike.
“Our schools should teach truth, not ideology,” Andrews said. “Iowa must once again lead the nation in education excellence.”
His message strikes a chord with many Iowa families who are fed up with political agendas in the classroom and seeking real educational freedom.
Protecting Landowners from Government Overreach
Andrews took a bold stand against the use of eminent domain to seize private land for controversial carbon pipeline projects—an issue that has outraged many Iowa farmers and rural landowners.
“I will always stand with the landowners,” he said. “No bureaucrat or corporation should be able to take your property without your consent.”
This commitment to property rights and individual liberty is likely to energize Iowa’s rural base, especially older voters who’ve worked hard to protect their land for generations.
Fixing Mental Health and Strengthening Our Youth
Calling mental health a “crisis we must face head-on,” Andrews promised to expand access to affordable mental health services across Iowa, particularly in underserved communities. He also aims to boost youth mentorship and career transition programs, ensuring that young Iowans have a path to success.
Cutting Big Money Influence in Des Moines
Tapping into voter frustration with establishment politics, Andrews condemned the influence of big money and special interests in Iowa elections.
“I’m not here to represent lobbyists. I’m here to serve the people of Iowa,” he said. “It’s time we clean up Des Moines.”
He promised campaign finance reforms that make elections fair and accountable—restoring trust in government.
A Proven Conservative Voice for Iowa’s Future
A husband, minister, tech entrepreneur, and dedicated public servant, Eddie Andrews brings a lifetime of leadership to the table. With deep roots in faith, small business, and legislative experience, he says he’s ready to deliver real results.
“Iowa deserves a Governor who listens and leads with purpose,” Andrews said. “Together, we can build an Iowa that works for everyone—especially our families, our farmers, and our future.”
What’s Next?
With this announcement, the 2026 Iowa Governor’s race is heating up. Andrews’ campaign is expected to draw strong support from conservatives across the state—particularly those concerned with education reform, property rights, government transparency, and restoring traditional values.
