About Our Team

Americans for Prosperity – Iowa is part of the largest grassroots advocacy organization in the country, dedicated to empowering Iowans to achieve greater economic freedom and prosperity. We believe that when government gets out of the way, individuals and families thrive, and we’re here to make that happen right here in Iowa.
Through grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and community engagement, AFP-Iowa works to remove barriers to opportunity, promote limited government, and champion the principles of a free and open economy. From fighting for school choice to opposing automatic tax hikes, we mobilize concerned Iowans to make their voices heard in Des Moines and beyond. Whether you’re a longtime activist or just getting started, there’s a place for you in our movement.
