It has been twelve years since a Republican occupied the Secretary of State’s office. Chet Culver used the office as a platform to run for governor after two terms in office. According to the Feds, he also used it to throw elaborate parties and misspend taxpayer dollars, but who gets worked up over things like that?

My new video is a thirty second spot meant to explain why I’m running for Secretary of State and highlight the fact that Iowa needs to protect itself from voter fraud. We need to recognize that we are not insulated from Chicago political strategies and organizations like ACORN. Iowa needs a Secretary of State who will fight for honest elections.

The Iowa Republican
If anyone impressed me last weekend at the Dallas County GOP straw poll and the Polk County convention, it was Secretary of State candidate Matt Schultz…
Schultz shined last Friday night and again at the Polk County Convention the next morning. In both instances, he spoke for about five minutes, yet in that short amount of time he conveyed a lot of information about himself and what he wants to do as Secretary of State. He started his speech by giving the audience some stats about how many business forms and inquiries the Secretary of State’s office handles. He then says that he will use the office as a bully pulpit to promote business in Iowa.
He then asks people if they have ever heard of ACORN. Schultz uses the questionable tactics used by organizations like ACORN as a call to for changing Iowa’s elections laws. He then tells a story about buying doughnuts for campaign volunteers at a Hy Vee in Council Bluffs. He grins as he reminds people that he was asked to show a photo ID when using a check to buy twenty dollars worth of doughnuts.
He then asks people how many have flown recently. He asked them to raise their hands if they had to show a photo ID before boarding an airplane. Of course they all nodded in agreement. He then asked, so why is it when we go to vote, we don’t have to prove who we are.
Schultz has also proposed creating a voter fraud hotline based off of the same principles as Crime Stoppers. That way, the Secretary of State’s office can react to claims of voter fraud not political parties and candidates.
