DES MOINES, Iowa — After years of managing and working in campaigns at the local, state and federal levels, Julie Stauch is making a run for the state’s highest office.

It’s her first time seeking public office, Julie tells WHO 13 News that she is treating it like a job resume with a cover letter and actual resume listed on her campaign website. You can learn more about her background and the different organizations she has been involved with, including the 24 campaigns spanning across all levels of government.

“Iowans are disgusted with our elected leaders, and we want change,” said Stauch (D). “We are done with the destruction created by a Governor and Legislators who are destroying every aspect of our state, playing childish games with people’s lives. We value our water, our soil, our children’s futures, our schools, our communities and our county governments. We need leaders who embrace those values. I am one of those leaders.”

Stauch is one of a couple of Iowa Democrats to jump into the field, with State Auditor Rob Sand announced his bid for office just several weeks ago.

You can watch the full interview with Stauch with WHO 13’s Zach Fisher attached above. Stauch discusses why she decided now was the appropriate time to run, and a campaign trail she plans to circle four times over the next year.
