Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand announced his campaign for Governor Monday.
In a statement announcing his run, Sand said, “I’ve spent my career fighting for Iowans – locking up corrupt public officials, violent criminals, scammers, and thieves, rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and holding members of both parties accountable. Now, I’m taking my fight to the governor’s office to serve all Iowans by lowering costs, continuing to make government accountable to taxpayers, and working with both parties to create more opportunities to help Iowa families not just get by, but thrive and live healthy lives…as governor, I will always do what’s right for Iowans.”
Sand was elected state auditor in 2018, becoming the first Democrat to hold the office in nearly 50 years and the first Democrat to beat a statewide incumbent Republican in over 30 years. He won a second term in 2022.
