Adam Steen spoke to a crowd in Atlantic on Friday, October 10 as he campaigns for the GOP nomination to replace Governor Kim Reynolds.  Steen, who grew up in Indianola and played professional baseball, also is an entrepreneur and business builder.  He served in Governor Reynolds’ cabinet as Director at the Iowa Department of Administrative Services.  He says his main message is simple.

Steen was asked about challenges facing the state, but he said he prefers to focus on opportunities.

Reynolds announced that she will not seek re-election after her current term ends.  Steen is one of a number of candidates that are expected to challenge for the Republican nomination in 2026.
