“We are happy to have Ryan on board and feel that he is a strong addition to the campaign,” says Funk.  Rhodes has led the efforts of the Tea Party in Iowa as well as well as coordinating with the National Tea Party Patriots.  “Dave is the right man at the right time to bring solid leadership to Iowa‘s Third District, something we have been lacking for a long time.”

As Iowa Tea Party Chairman Rhodes has coordinated many grassroots efforts across the state and helped other states fight against unchecked growth and the stranglehold of big government.  “Dave isn‘t just a late comer to the Tea Party for political purposes.  He has been there from the beginning and I believe he is someone we can trust to be a true voice of the people for limited government in Washington.”

Funk says, “Having known and worked closely with Ryan for much of the past year, he has proven himself capable and insightful beyond his years.  We are excited to have him on board as our Political Director as we go through the primary process to challenge and ultimately defeat Leonard Boswell next November restoring loyalty to our Constitution, our Liberty and the People of Iowa.”
