Methodology

The Iowa Chapter of Chamber of Mothers' 2026 Iowa Candidate Guide is a nonpartisan voter education resource. Qualified candidates were invited to participate using publicly available campaign contact information and received the same questionnaire and response deadline. Candidate responses are published as submitted, with minor formatting edits for readability. Candidates who did not respond are identified accordingly. The purpose of this guide is to provide voters with direct access to candidate responses so they can make informed decisions at the ballot box. Publication of candidate responses does not constitute endorsement of any candidate or political party.
