Joe Mitchell, a former Trump Administration official, successful businessman, and property developer has launched his campaign for Iowa Congressional District 2.
Iowa needs fighters in Congress who will have President Trump’s back. As a trusted voice in the MAGA movement, Joe Mitchell will always fight for the hardworking Iowans who have made their support for President Trump loud and clear.
“I’m running for Congress because too many Iowans have been left behind by a broken political system that works for insiders and lobbyists, not for us. For too long, politicians in Washington have wasted our tax dollars and cut backroom deals while working families pay the price,” said Joe Mitchell, Republican Candidate for Congress. “I’ll work with President Trump to end reckless spending, secure our borders, protect our farmers, and build an economy where hard work pays again. It’s time to take power back from the insiders and return it to the people of Iowa — where it belongs.”
About Joe Mitchell: Joe Mitchell served as a regional director for HUD under the Trump Administration and as a Chief of Staff to FHFA. Previously, Joe served in the Iowa Legislature for 2 terms. He initially ran for office at 20 years old and was later sworn in at the age of 21 – making him the youngest state legislator in Iowa’s history. During his time in the house he served as Vice-Chairman of the Ways & Means Committee and Assistant Majority Leader under the leadership of Speaker Pat Grassley.
Outside of his work as a legislator, Joe started a nationwide non-profit called Run GenZ, where they recruit young conservatives from across the county to run for state and local office. His efforts have helped hundreds of young people run and win state and local elections in all 50 states.
Joe lives in Clear Lake where he owns and operates his own real estate development company that focuses on workforce housing developments in rural Iowa. He also served as President & Chairman of the Iowa Real Estate Developers Association. This background in real estate and property development has given him real-world perspective into what’s plaguing the nation’s housing crisis.
Recently Joe became the youngest Resident Fellow in Harvard University’s History. But he doesn’t want you to hold it against him, he wasn’t afraid to be a conservative voice on Harvard’s campus.
