Carter is a 9th generation Iowan eager to serve the people of Iowa House District 19. Carter has been involved in his community since a young age. He ran for mayor in 2017 of Adel and has recently served as chairman for the Adel parks and recreation board, one of Adel's largest governing boards
Carter is a senior, studying business management and leadership at the University of Northern Iowa. He owns and operates a small business and currently serves as the VP of Finance for Pi Sigma Epsilon, one of UNI's largest professional student organizations.
- Taxes - I firmly believe that allowing Iowa workers to keep as much of their paychecks as possible is not only fair, but stimulates and advances our economy. We must have a tax code that benefits all Iowans, keeps us competitive with other states, and ensures long term economic growth. I am a strong supporter of cutting taxes or potentially eliminating Iowa income taxes as a whole. I will always fight for the Iowa tax payer!
- Education - Education will be one of my top priorities at the capitol. Ensuring our future generations are educated at the highest possible standard is something we must always demand. We should strive to have the best schools in the nation. To do this, we must focus on strategic investments, competition, technology, and innovation within our school systems. We should always be looking at new ways to prepare our students for the 21st century economy they will soon enter. For example, one of the programs I have become familiar with during my time at the University of Northern Iowa, is the Cedar Valley CAPS program. A program that introduces students to the workforce while in high school (Check out their video here: https://cedarfallscaps.you
- Health Care and Pre-Existing Conditions - No Iowan should be denied affordable health insurance because they have a pre-existing condition. As someone with first hand experience of pre-existing conditions within my family, I understand the importance of protecting these individuals. I will always promise to work on the behalf of them and their families. I will also promise to fight to expand and better Iowa's health care system. I will support efforts in expanding access to mental health services, allow the growth of telehealth for rural Iowa, and protect life. I will always have the health and safety of Iowan's at the forefront of every vote I cast.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
