Former Republican state Rep. Brad Sherman announced Monday he is launching a campaign for Iowa governor, setting up a likely primary fight with incumbent Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Sherman, a pastor from Williamsburg, was an early endorser of Republican President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 GOP presidential caucuses.

Sherman is expected to run to the political right of Reynolds, who hasn't officially announced she will seek reelection.

According to a news release, Sherman plans to focus his campaign on "defending Iowans’ rights against eminent domain abuse, encouraging fiscal responsibility, promoting family values and returning government to the foundational principles that made America great."


His website also highlights "medical freedom" as a key issue, and he promises to sign legislation to reduce emergency powers of the governor and "work to dismantle the bureaucratic swamp that was responsible for the iron hand of tyranny we saw from the medical establishment during COVID."

Republican former state Rep. Brad Sherman will run for governor in 2026.


Sherman plans to hold a launch event Feb. 22 in Mason City.

“The foundational values upon which our liberties rest have been dangerously undermined and now we’re at a crossroads.” Sherman said in his news release. “As governor, I will work hard to restore the foundations of freedom and stand for the constitutional rights of every individual, ensuring that Iowa remains a welcoming place for faith, families, and thriving businesses.”
