HAMPTON – Today, Shawn Dietz of Hampton filed nomination forms with the Iowa Secretary of State’s office to have his name placed on the June 3rd primary ballot in Iowa’s 27th Senate District. Dietz, a Republican, has spent the weeks since his caucus announcement gathering signatures at meetings and events in all three counties of the District.
“I’ve been inspired by the number of conservative Republicans who have reached out to our campaign over the past few weeks who are excited to see this area represented in the Iowa Senate by someone who is passionate about spreading a positive pro-life, traditional marriage, small government, and an overall Conservative message.” Dietz said following his filing. “We’ve spoken with many folks in all three counties, but particularly Cerro Gordo County who want to see someone take a firm stand based on these core Iowa values.”
More meet and greet events are being planned for the Dietz for Iowa campaign that will be announced in the coming weeks. Shawn will also be in attendance at the Cerro Gordo County Republican Party’s fundraiser on Tuesday, March 18 featuring U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), and U.S. Congressman Steve King (R-IA).
Shawn Dietz is the former Mayor of Hampton, and has spent the past four years working for a locally owned and operated media company in Hampton, currently serving as Program Director. In 2008, Shawn and his family personally felt the economic collapse that gripped the nation as the glass coatings factory where he spent four years as a quality control technician closed its doors.
Raised in the Butler County community of Dumont, Shawn graduated from Hampton-Dumont High School in 2000, and received an Associate in Science Degree, majoring in Sales and Marketing from North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) in Mason City. Shawn and his wife, Alexis continue to live in Hampton where they are raising their three children.
