Wasn’t it Shakespeare who asked, “What’s in a name?” When the last name is Lundby, it means a lot. I am pleased to support Daniel Lundby for Iowa House District 68. He grew up in a family of service to the public.

Not only was his mother, Mary, a longtime state representative and later a state senator, but his father Mike, has been and continues to be, an advocate for those in need.

Lundby will follow in his mother’s footstep and will be a strong advocate for the environment and Iowa’s natural resources. The late Sen. Lundby was recently honored by having a walking bridge named in her honor at Pinicon Ridge Park. Daniel observed first stand how she worked tirelessly for her constituents. He will continue that tradition.

His opponent, Nick Wagner, gets a failing grade for his position on parks and recreation. He voted to roll back Iowa’s clean air and water regulations and support drastic budget cuts to our park systems.

A vote for Lundby will bring back a strong advocate for parks and recreation. He knows having clean air and water benefit everyone and having well maintained recreational areas brings tourism.
