Samantha Fett, State Representative, Iowa House District 22

Representing NW and SW Warren County, including Carlisle, Norwalk, Hartford, Cumming, New Virigina, Martensdale and St. Mary's, Iowa.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve district 22 and Iowans across the state!

I am a conservative that loves what America stands for and wants to see it thrive based on how the founding fathers intended. This means standing for truth. I am a mom, and I care deeply about the next generation which is why I will hold the line with bold leadership. I pledge to stand on our American principles of Faith, Family and Freedom with true conviction. 

Let's focus on the strength of our families and the skills of our children to build a better future in Iowa.

Learn more about my accomplishments in my first term.


As Carlisle residents, my husband Josh and I raised two daughters, both graduating from Carlisle High school.  Josh was born and raised in western Iowa, and I am originally from the Chicago suburbs and came to Iowa to attend college.  After meeting my husband, I fell in love with Iowa and rural living, and we decided to make Iowa the place to raise our family.  We have lived in Carlisle the past 13 years and previously lived in Des Moines for 10 years.  Josh is an electrician, and I run a marketing firm with previous background in the media industry.  We also enjoy our hobby farm outside of city limits raising chickens.  As active members in our local church, Holy Cross Lutheran Church, we have a passion for supporting youth in our community.

I'm a mom and became active in politics after serving as a school board member in the Carlisle school district, standing for parents when it mattered--It's part of my purpose, protecting our parental rights.

This experience motivated me to be more involved in the legislative process. I was able to experience on a grassroots level that working with legislators is how we can create good policy.
