Representative Samantha Fett

Dear Friends and Neighbors of House District 22,

I’m sharing this not just as your representative, but as a fellow Iowan who stands with you—rooted in shared values and a deep commitment to the state we call home.

Over the past few years in office, I’ve fought tirelessly to protect parental rights, defend our children from harmful ideologies, and ensure that Iowa law reflects the convictions we hold dear—faith, family, and freedom. Together, we’ve made meaningful progress—but the fight is far from over.

I am running for re-election to the Iowa House in November 2026—because Iowa’s families deserve leaders who will stand firm, speak truth, and never compromise on what matters most.

I remain committed to protecting educational freedom and defending the rights of parents to guide their children’s upbringing. I will continue working to ensure that every Iowa student is safe, supported, and surrounded by learning environments that reflect truth, excellence, and opportunity. The choices we make today will shape the next generation and I will not back down.

I will continue to stand against radical agendas that seek to erase biological reality, undermine our faith, and silence conviction. Our children deserve protection, and Iowans deserve leaders who act with courage. I remain a steadfast constitutionalist, with a clear focus on defending the Second Amendment. My commitment to preserving individual liberty and protecting the rights enshrined in our founding documents continues to guide my policy recommendations.

I will keep fighting for our rural communities, small businesses, and the hardworking families who make Iowa strong. Our values are not negotiable—and our voice must be heard. We work hard and more money needs to stay in our pockets!

I am asking for your support in this re-election campaign for Iowa House District 22—This campaign is about standing for truth. It’s about ensuring that the next generation inherits a state that honors God, protects liberty, and empowers families.

Let’s continue what we started—with courage, conviction, and clarity!

Thank you!  Rep. Samantha Fett

VOTE November 3, 2026!

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and came to Iowa to attend Drake University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass communications. After graduation, I married my husband, Josh, and together we’ve made Iowa our home for the past 25 years — spending the last 14 in Carlisle, where we raised our two daughters, Sophia and Cecelia. Our family has continued to grow, and we are now proud grandparents. We also enjoy raising and training our three German Shepherds and tending to our small hobby farm outside city limits.

I’ve spent more than 25 years working in media and marketing, including leading the Iowa Newspaper Association’s print and digital division. Today, I use that experience as a marketing and communications consultant, partnering with nonprofit organizations across the state. Josh, who was born and raised in western Iowa, works as an electrician. We are active members of Holy Cross Lutheran Church and have a passion for supporting youth and strengthening our community.

My public service began at the grassroots level when I served on the Carlisle School Board. That experience deepened my commitment to protecting parental rights and strengthening family‑focused policy. As a Moms for Liberty leader, I’ve been active in advocacy efforts to empower parents, uphold strong families, and expand education options across Iowa. Working with organizations that support school choice helped me see firsthand how policy directly impacts families and children.

Serving on the school board motivated me to become more involved in the legislative process. I saw clearly that working directly with lawmakers is how we create strong, effective policy. Standing with parents when it matters most is part of my purpose — and it’s what ultimately led me to run for the Iowa House. 

After serving my community and standing with parents at the local level, I felt called to take that work to the Statehouse. That path led me to run for the Iowa House, where I recently finished my first term. In the Legislature, I serve as Vice Chair of the Education Committee and also serve on the Agriculture, Government Oversight, and Judiciary Committees, as well as the Education Appropriations Subcommittee. My focus remains rooted in the strength of Iowa families and the success of Iowa children. I believe that when we focus on the strength of our families and the skills of our children, we can build a better future for Iowa — one grounded in opportunity, responsibility, and the values that make our state home.

What to expect from your State Representative

What you can expect from me is bold leadership, transparency, and access. I represent and serve you, so I can in turn provide guidance and policy that expands your freedoms and opportunities. I have invested time in this community, and I am proud to be serving in the Iowa House!

Providing good policy governance is the goal, so let's get it done together. 

Simply put, I love America and I want to preserve liberty and freedom in Iowa--- It's why decided to run for office.

Representing House District 22 is an honor because it means problem solving on your behalf. During my grassroots efforts in advocating with legislators, it became clear to me that that process works the best when we are involved.

Government doesn't work well without us, so it's my mission to involve all of you to assist in making the lives of Iowans better!
