Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Rick Stewart (L)

Let's end the Drug War. Treat our neighbors as human beings to be loved, not criminals to lock up in cages.

Taxes should be efficient, effective, and enjoyable to pay. There goes the income tax ...

The best government is limited government, which will give us fewer things to be afraid of, to hate our neighbor because of, and to argue with our family about when we aren't arguing about religion.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Rick Stewart (L)

Ending the Drug War.

Allowing our veterans access to the best PTSD treatment in the history of the world - MDMA assisted therapy.

Doing a good job of helping the bottom 5%, rather than pretending to help everybody while actually helping nobody. The top 95% can be responsible for themselves and don't need to look to Washington or Des Moines for help.

Trying to soak the rich never works, because they have the money to hire lawyers and lobbyists to soak us instead. Treat them with kindness and and you will discover just how generous they are, and how little you need their help to make this world a wonderful place for 100% of us.

Can we have some peace already? Being a bad neighbor doesn't make the rest of the world fond of us. Rethink our militaristic tendencies, and give peace a chance.

My town can solve our own problems if we don't have to send 25% of our income to Washington politicians. Think local!

If we don't have anything good to say, let's not say anything at all. It worked in my family cuz, you know, my dad made sure it did.

Let's do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Just because that is 2,000 year old advice doesn't make it bad advice!

If our neighbor has a Drug Use Disorder (DUD), let's help him deal with it. And not by locking him up in a rape cage, DUH.

Let's have more than Republicans and Democrats! They haven't done such a great job for this country, so let's give a third or fourth or fifth party a shot at it.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Rick Stewart (L)

"In all that I do, at all times and with all people, I will conduct my affairs and the affairs of my office with unwavering integrity."

I wrote that 35 years ago and I ferociously adhere to it.

Work every day to give everyone you represent the opportunity to pursue, in their own way, the American Dream.

Educate yourself. Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is the place to start. After that, read Smith's The Theory of Moral Sentiments. When you are finished, your term will be up and you should hand off the baton to the public servant who replaces you.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Rick Stewart (L)

On my tombstone - Here lies the man who ended the War on Drug

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Rick Stewart (L)

In fourth grade I became a paper boy for the Des Moines Register, a job I continued for five years. Thanks to this I received a scholarship to attend Phillips Academy in Andover MA, the best high school in the world, for high school. I misbehaved a bit, but did graduate on time with a fantastic education.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Rick Stewart (L)

Ulysses, by James Joyce. It consumed my entire 30 day visa in Thailand. When I finished the last sentence, I wanted to start rereading it, but I had to move on to Laos. Understanding every word of it was the greatest intellectual challenge of my life.

A governor is the top executive authority in his or her state. What does that mean do you?

Rick Stewart (L)

It is the Governor's job to represent all 3.15 million Iowans equally. This means being a consensus builder, not a division creator.

The goal of every Governor should be to veto any legislative action which does not have the unanimous support of every legislator. Exceptions can be made for legislators whose only objective is to create division for personal political gain.

Governors have many responsibilities, which vary from state to state. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your state?

Rick Stewart (L)

Fiscal responsibility is foremost. This means keeping taxes as low as possible, to allow individual citizens of the state to keep as much of their money as possible, to be spent and invested as they see fit, given their own interpretation of the meaning of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Iowa Constitution also requires the state to educate its citizens. This requires setting realistic goals and relentlessly pursuing those goals in the most cost effective manner possible. After success, raise the goals.

The Governor also oversees the Iowa justice system, to ensure equal justice for all, so individual Iowans can rest assured they do not have to hire a private army to protect their body and property.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Rick Stewart (L)

The Governor is the CEO. The legislature is the Management Team. They work together to achieve the best possible outcome for all 3.15 million Iowans, using a consensus decision making process.

Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[1]
