If I’m going to be a man of my word, now’s the time to fight back against the unprecedented attacks we’re seeing on our democracy and financial well being by the oligarchs that are running our country and that own the presidency and most of Congress. The primary focus of my campaigns has been about “putting people first” by rejecting corporate PAC money, which has freed me up to fight the good fight against entities like corporate polluters and land grabbers that seek to abuse eminent domain to harm us and our freedom. I will fight to provide for the needs of the people in the 4th district in a sustainable way, so they can live fulfilling lives, unburdened by stresses that we have the power to reduce or eliminate. To accomplish this, we’ll focus on providing for the holistic well being of each person from birth through every stage of life - in their homes, at school, at work, in public places, and in the civic arena. To fund these efforts, I’ll advocate for such things as reasonable tax policy reform, such as the addressing of tax loopholes and deferrals, which have allowed the wealthiest Americans to accrue wealth at rates much faster than the rest of us, while paying a disproportionately low tax rate when compared against their wealth per year than the rest of us. My efforts will also help to spur job growth by removing obstacles blocking our people from employment opportunities, career growth, and financial independence. https://www.meltonforiowa.com/2024-campaign-events daily 0.75 2025-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/26c27f46-10b7-4854-a72c-00131771ee3e/Parade.jpg 2024 Campaign Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/84702795-a8bf-4d9a-96de-1a4add582b61/March+for+Our+Lives.jpg 2024 Campaign Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/9f95aab6-1e54-47d7-a24a-42627ceee9ce/Ryan+Speaks.jpg 2024 Campaign Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/3b427be7-a4c9-4d99-b033-c2241b34410b/366885283_309307341667992_970210370868632879_n.jpeg 2024 Campaign Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/2938788b-f777-481c-820a-07deb155d79c/371464759_317534984178561_8147061042117788878_n.jpeg 2024 Campaign Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/51049118-591c-418e-8dd1-27ff044c644d/385827330_340259995239393_443121662217929764_n.jpeg 2024 Campaign Events https://www.meltonforiowa.com/home daily 1.0 2025-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/59966370-1884-4ebe-bbed-e1b20c4d6141/Melton+for+Iowa+Postcards+-+Handout+Front+New+field+background.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/aa307287-c716-4df7-8b31-e170b0aef4e6/2024+Stances.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb011200ba0f11d4e06286/b0644e36-cd1e-4a46-8caf-4660b995e100/Endorsements.PNG Home - Take Action Are you interested in finding ways you can help advance our cause?
