Letter: Wheeler is vital to success in House – nwestiowa.com

To The REVIEW:

It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Rep. Skyler Wheeler in the June primary and the general election.

As a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, I know what effective leadership looks like, and I have observed Rep. Wheeler become one of the strongest and most consistent conservative voices in the Iowa House. His leadership has been vital in the passage of key pieces of legislation in support of our common-sense, foundational values.

Rep. Wheeler was a major voice in the passage of the Heartbeat Bill, which at the time of its passage was the strongest protection in the nation for our unborn children. He was also instrumental in the passage of other pieces of pro-life legislation, including the 24-hour waiting period, and most recently the Life Amendment to reverse the egregious Cady Court ruling that placed a fundamental right to abortion in the Iowa Constitution.

A strong advocate for the Second Amendment, Rep. Wheeler has been a leading voice in the passage of numerous Second Amendment initiatives, including protections for gun manufacturers against frivolous lawsuits intended to put them out of business, Constitutional Carry, and the Freedom Amendment, which when passed will add the right to keep and bear arms to the Iowa Constitution.

Rep. Wheeler stood with me as I worked to pass legislation to ban sanctuary cities in Iowa. He has been a strong voice for religious freedom. In every major fight for the advancement of our foundational values, Rep. Wheeler was and is in the thick of it, and his influence in the House Republican caucus is strong.

In the current legislative session, Rep. Wheeler led the fight to protect womens sports in Iowa. It was his tenacity, over a several-year period, which led to the enactment of these important protections into law.

Rep. Wheeler is one of the strongest and most steadfast conservative leaders in the Iowa House, and his integrity is without question. I respectfully and enthusiastically ask that he be supported in the primary and the general election. His courage and determination are vital to our continued success in the Iowa House.

Rep. Steven Holt,

Iowa House District 18,

Denison
