Letter to the Editor: Magg for Iowa House District 38

I encourage the citizens of Jasper County to vote for Brad Magg for Iowa House District 38. Brad is one of the most entrepreneurial people I have ever met. Impressively, he founded and runs multiple businesses in our county, including starting a catering operation when he was only 14. Even more impressively, he starts businesses with the purpose of fulfilling rural community needs. For example, he stepped up to start a new pharmacy in Colfax after the 117 year-old pharmacy that had previously served the community closed, ensuring that Colfax citizens continue to have access to prescription medication and health care. Through his business success, Brad proves that he can find real, tangible solutions to problems Iowans face. I believe Brad will bring that small business, problem-solving perspective to the Iowa Legislature.

Brad is also one of the most caring people I know. He has served on the Jasper County United Way board and has represented citizens on the Colfax City Council since 2010. He cares greatly about Jasper County, and his actions show that he is always willing to help people and organizations in need.

Brad is a great listener. He will listen to the concerns of all people and will push back against extremism at the State House. He will find normal, common-sense solutions that improve education, health care, and the economy in the State of Iowa.

Please vote for Brad Magg on Nov. 5!
