Dear Fellow Iowans,
After much thought and debate, I've
decided to suspend my campaign for
Secretary of Agriculture and officially endorse
Bill Northey and his campaign for Iowa's most
important agricultural position.
This decision was a very difficult one. I've
greatly enjoyed traveling across the state,
meeting great people like you. It was a
life-changing experience, one which I have learned a great deal from.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support you've given me. I could never have made it this far without you. For that, I am greatly appreciative. I hope you support Bill's campaign with the energy that you've supported mine.
I really feel Bill and I complement each other. Bill's experience in production agriculture and national leadership in the commodity organizations coupled with my experience in the supermarket industry, agri-business and animal agriculture make for a great team.
I'm attaching the news release that was sent out for you to read if you'd like. Thank you again for all your support, and I ask you to vote for Bill Northey on June 6!
