DES MOINES – Today, Iowa Secretary of State and former Council Bluffs City Councilman, Matt Schultz, formally announced his candidacy for Iowa’s Third Congressional District at a press event with more than 50 supporters at Council Bluffs City Hall. Iowa’s third district includes Des Moines and southwest Iowa.

“Fighting for the people of Iowa in the State Capitol has been an honor and privilege, but Washington is so broken, and so out of touch with main-street America, that I could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch as our children’s future was being mortgaged to pay for reckless policies today,” said Matt Schultz.

The pillars of Schultz’s campaign include: Protect against government overreach, balance the federal budget, enact term limits, repeal obamacare, and protect second amendment rights.

“Our nation is $17 trillion in debt. Obamacare has resulted in more people losing their plans than it has actually insured. This has to stop now,” Shultz said Thursday. “As Congressman, I will stand up for the Third District, the entire district. I will fight for Iowa’s families by repealing Obamacare, controlling spending, and supporting term limits that end the career politicians’ and special interests’ hold on America, because this is the Peoples’ government—not Washington’s.”

Following Schultz’s announcement in Council Bluffs he began a trip through the Third District with stops in Glenwood, Red Oak, Atlantic, Guthrie Center, and Perry, ending the day in Des Moines.
