Zach Lahn is a 6th generation Iowan who was born and raised in Sioux City, and now resides on his family farm in Belle Plaine. Zach’s family came to Iowa over 100 years ago in 1884, built their family farm, and lived there until 2005, when it was sold. In 2014, Zach bought back his family’s homestead, where he and his wife, Annie, are raising their family. He is running on a strong Iowa-First platform that includes 4 key issues: saving Iowa’s family farms, combating the cancer crisis, making Iowa’s education #1, and keeping our kids in Iowa.
