I would like to thank all of the folks that volunteered to help with my election, and thank all the folks that voted for me in the 2016 election. I am truly humbled and honored to have been selected to once again represent district 72 in the Iowa House of Representatives. The election results represented a winning margin that assures me that my constituents are satisfied with the way I have been representing them. I will continue to work hard in the 2018 campaign so that I can continue representing district 72.
- Each legislator receives living expenses for the time they spend in Des Moines. Dean saves expense money by commuting to Des Moines instead of living there during the session. Dean has committed to donating his unused legislative expenses to the volunteer fire departments in his district as a way of returning the taxpayers money back to the taxpayers and honoring the hard work and sacrifice of our firefighters. Dean has donated over $38,000 to the fire departments and continues to make the rounds. Dean is pictured here donating to the Gilman Fire Department.
- Dean believes that serving in the legislature should be a calling, not a career. Dean knows that the citizens of this state and country are fed up with politicians that are in office to serve themselves. Dean has rejected the IPERS retirement benefit (Iowa Public Employees Retirement System) to save the taxpayers money and so that the taxpayers won't owe Dean a dime when he leaves office.

Meet the Candidate:
Dean is currently the state Representative in District 72 which includes all of Tama county, the southern and western halves of Marshall county, and the La Porte city and Eagle Center area in Black Hawk county. For a map of the new district, click on this link.
Dean was first elected to the Iowa House in 2012. He is now serving his third term during the 2017/2018 General Assembly.
Dean is a fifth-generation Iowa farmer and is proud to own a Heritage Farm located 4 miles north of Montour that has been in his family since 1852 where he and his wife, Vicki, reside. After graduating from South Tama High in 1975 Dean went to college and received a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering Technology at the DeVry Institute of Technology in Chicago. Dean spent over 25 years in the electronics industry as an engineer, engineering manager, and a business manager in the design and manufacture of micro-processor based real-time control systems. The last 18 years of his career Dean worked for Motorola in their automotive electronics business, managing the P&L (profit & loss balance sheet) for a $50 million portfolio of products supplied to North American automotive companies.
After a successful 25 year career in the electronics industry Dean realized his dream of returning to the family farm in 2004, joining his brother in managing a 120 head cow/calf operation. In the spring of 2014 Dean and his brother decided to exit the cattle business and rent the land to a younger neighbor. Dean still works on the farm however rebuilding fence, spraying for weeds, and maintaining the buildings.
Since returning to Iowa, Dean has been active in increasing levels of public service, serving as a Precinct Election Chairman, Township Clerk, Tama county Republican Party Chairman, board member of the Tama Co. Pioneer Cemetery Association and has now served his first term in the Iowa House. Dean is a strong fiscal conservative and advocate of traditional social values.
To get to the know the folks in the district first hand Dean has attended hundreds of events, fish fry's, spaghetti dinners, pancake breakfasts, and many other community events. Dean has also been door-knocking in many of the communities already and will be working hard on door-knocking throughout the summer and fall. The campaign team has been hard at work as well, preparing the float for the parades and walking/riding in many parades already, putting up campaign signs for the primary election, sending out mailings, and many other tasks.
