Zach Lahn joins race to be Iowa’s next governor

Another Republican has entered the race for governor and it’s a candidate who says he’ll be the “biggest donor” to his own campaign. Zach Lahn kicked off his campaign at his family’s century farm near Belle Plaine, which he bought in 2014 and where his family now lives. Lahn is the son of a pastor who grew up in Sioux City, got a degree in political science from Colorado University and got a job working for a member of Colorado’s state senate. He’s led campaigns for Republican candidates in Iowa and other states and has worked for the political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity. Lahn now runs an investment business and says he’s “not a politician,” will be his “biggest donor,” so he can’t be bought.
