Chris New for Iowa House
House DISTRICT 47 | DALLAS GREENE GUTHRIE
A New Way Forward for Iowa.
We've watched the Republican majority in Des Moines chip away at workers' rights, restrict reproductive freedom, and hand sweetheart deals to out-of-state corporations while families pay higher electric bills, lose access to healthcare—and get told to be grateful for what they have.
Chris is running on a straightforward platform: protect the rights Iowa Republicans have been dismantling, stand up for working families against corporate power, and make sure that the people of District 47 have a voice in Des Moines that actually fights for them.
Husband. Father. Businessman. Leader.
He's not a career politician. Chris New is a lifelong Midwesterner who grew up in Iowa, and built his life in Dallas Center because he believes in this community, in neighbors who look out for each other, honest work that pays fair wages, and a government that doesn't pick winners and losers based on who has the best lobbyist.
