Congratulations to Larry Voorhees for receiving the Republican nomination for House District 68. HD 68 is currently represented by Des Moines lawyer, Democrat Rick Olson. Larry was unanimously nominated by special convention tonight.
Larry’s biography shows a wealth of practical experience. Larry graduated in Education from Drake in 1980. After teaching school for many years Larry transitioned into private enterprise and is now employed as a project manager at Nationwide Insurance.
The most frightening thing for Rick, however, is Larry’s other business-Voorhees Taekwondo. The taekwondo business consists of multiple clubs associated with communities, churches, and municipal parks and recreation departments. It looks like Larry is ready for some chopping Democrats up and chopping Democrats down.
It sounds like Larry is going to spend a lot of time talking about the painful burden that Rick, Bully McCarthy, Jo Oldson and Janet Peterson and the other Pumpkin Tax Democrats have imposed on the people of Polk County and especially on those who live in Des Moines. Larry also wants to improve our schools and address the root causes of out of control education spending.
Larry also runs a pretty good blog, “Uncommon Common Sense”.
The experience of success in education, big business and small business gives Larry a well informed perspective about the problems that Iowa needs to overcome if we are to regain economic competitiveness and prosperity. The blog shows Larry possesses the kind of communication skills and creativity to embrace the needs of a 21st Century. Since no one in Iowa has been hit harder by the Democrats’ grossly regressive over taxation and welfare state spending than the hard working families on Des Moines’ upper East side maybe Larry will find a more fertile environment than conventional wisdom typically allows us Republicans in Sixty-eight.
Best of all, it looks like Larry is going to run a very optimistic and aggressive ground based campaign.
