Senator Kettering Seeks Re-election

DES MOINES – Senator Steve Kettering (R-Lake View) today announced that he will seek a third term in the Iowa Senate.

Growing Iowa’s economy has been an important issue on his agenda in the Senate and he will continue to focus on initiatives that help create jobs and attract more businesses to rural areas. “We need to encourage economic growth by building on our efforts to make Iowa a leader in alternative energy, retaining Iowa’s Right to Work status and reforming Iowa’s outdated property tax system,” he said.

Kettering is ranking member of the Appropriations Committee and also serves on the State Government, Commerce, Natural Resources and Environment, and Labor and Business Relations Committees.

“I believe my experience and leadership brings a lot to the table,” Kettering said. “It has been an honor to serve in the Senate for the past six years and I want to continue working on those issues that are important to my constituents. I’m asking the people of Senate District 26 to once again elect me as their senator.”

Kettering represents Senate District 26, which includes Buena Vista, Carroll, Sac counties as well as half of Crawford county.
