DES MOINES, Iowa (KCAU) — On Tuesday, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig announced he is seeking reelection.

Secretary Naig is seeking reelection for the 2026 election, making the decision to steer away from the Gubernatorial race.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of Iowa as we work to advance an Iowa First agenda that puts farmers, families, and freedom at the center of our future,” said Naig. “We have made tremendous progress over the past few years, but there remains important work ahead, and we’re not done yet—building markets for Iowa products, defending our livestock industry, accelerating soil and water conservation efforts, and making sure rural Iowa thrives for future generations. I look forward to continuing to grow our state, fight for the hard-working men and women who feed and fuel the world, and keep Iowa as the greatest agricultural state in the country.”

Naig was elected to his position in 2018, and voters kept him in office again in 2022. He will be launching a campaign in the near future.
