Rizer is candidate you can trust

My concern for our country has grown in recent years along with my distrust of and dissatisfaction with government. Who can we trust? It is frustrating to read many of the ads promoted by candidates and to be left wondering how reputable the information is that is shared.

During the past year, we have come to personally know and therefore support the candidacy of Ken Rizer for the Iowa House.

A finer, more qualified candidate cannot be found to serve district 68 residents. He is a man of deep integrity, dedicated to his family (his wife and four children) his active faith, his service to others and to his country shown through his 25 years of active military service.

He cares deeply for the veterans among us, the less fortunate and the marginalized. That is why he took his first civilian job with Goodwill of the Heartland - 'serving others” still ingrained in his thinking from his military background. These are the same values that were first absorbed during his Iowa upbringing.

A capable leader, able to bring different ideas together for successful outcomes, he retired from the military with irrefutable experience as commander of Andrews Air Force Base.

I see him as qualified, not only with provable experience and strong educational credentials, but as a man of wisdom and tireless effort.
