Vicki Stogdill announces her candidacy for Iowa Senate District 18
In March of this year, Vicki Stogdill filed documents with the Iowa Secretary of State to be placed on the November ballot for Iowa's new Senate District 18.
Many Americans have lost trust in their elected leaders, as Legislators seem to behave more "partisan" than to represent the interests of those who elected them. Vicki is an independent thinker who will consider first what is best for her constituents, rather than to please a political party. Vicki has the heart of a "servant" and feels that if voters would elect more legislators who would strive to serve others instead of "rule" over them - we would see much different behavior coming from our elected leaders.
In 2010, hundreds of Iowans supported Vicki when she ran for the Iowa House of Representatives, and she is extremely appreciative of the encouragement and help of so many friends and supporters. In her campaign, Vicki proved that she is an independent thinker who puts "Principle before Party."
Experience that matters
Vicki worked in a family-owned small business for 23 years, and saw first hand how to create jobs, as well as how too much government intrusion can negatively affect business. As a small business owner, Vicki created a budget, set goals and met them. Her years as a business owner bring a level of experience that is needed in our State Government.
Most recently in 2010 and 2011, Vicki had the opportunity to travel Central Iowa to educate Iowans about the dangers of our deficit and growing National Debt and shared solutions to the problem. Over the next 15 months, Vicki met with hundreds of Iowans who are as passionate about Iowa's future as she is. Vicki feels it is irresponsible of our Government to saddle our children and grandchildren with the debt accumulated by decades of over-spending, and that fiscal accountability must be a priority at all levels of government.
Having grown up in Northwestern Rural Iowa, Vicki learned the value of working hard to achieve goals, and has a "down to earth" perspective on problem solving. Vicki feels truly blessed to have had the opportunities and experiences she had growing in up in Iowa.
Vicki is active in her community through service on boards and committees with the City of Des Moines, at her church and her children's school, as well as public service on her Neighborhood Association. Public service is a way of life for Vicki - and she is anxious to bring her "common sense" approach to the next level at the Iowa Statehouse.
Vicki's private sector experience, as well as volunteer service has prepared her well to represent the diverse interests of residents and business owners that reside in Iowa's 18th Senate District. Vicki is convinced that the people of Iowa hold the solution to bringing more jobs back to our state, improving the education of our children, and making Iowa an even better place to call home.
