Brenna Findley, an attorney from Dexter, launched her campaign for Iowa Attorney General today by filing the statement of organization for her exploratory campaign committee, Findley for Iowa. Findley is running an innovative, grassroots campaign and promises to be an energetic and accessible legal watchdog who stands up for Iowans and our Constitution.
Raised on a farm near Dexter in southwest Dallas County, Findley, 33, attended Drake University in Des Moines and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History and minor in Russian with honors. After Drake, Findley attended the University of Chicago Law School. While at the University of Chicago, she served as Symposium Editor of The University of Chicago Law School Roundtable, a law journal, and worked for small business clients in the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses. Upon graduation from law school, she worked in private practice.
“Iowa needs an Attorney General who is a strong advocate for Iowa’s economy and understands what it takes to create private sector jobs in every community and in every county,” said Findley. “My background and experience have given me the understanding about what it takes to ensure Iowa is a family friendly state where jobs, opportunity and prosperity can thrive in every community. Small business is the engine for job growth– my office will be small business friendly,” she added.
Besides her work in private practice, Findley has served as Chief of Staff and senior Judiciary Committee staff member to Iowa Congressman Steve King (R-Kiron) since 2003. In her work with the Judiciary Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, she has dealt with and gained significant expertise on many of the most pressing legal issues of the day. As Chief of Staff to Congressman King, Findley serves 32 counties in western Iowa, managing six offices and staff.
Findley’s extensive education, experience, and understanding of the important legal issues facing Iowa are an asset. Her deep knowledge of Iowa politics and her proven track record as a successful manager and private practice attorney make her a strong choice to be Iowa’s next attorney general. Besides focusing on jobs, Findley says she will campaign on the need for Iowans to have a legal watchdog to hold state government accountable and enforce Iowa’s laws and the principles in our Constitution.
“I will bring the work ethic I learned working on our farm in Dexter to the Attorney General’s office. The office has been under one-party control since 1978. I want to serve as your legal watchdog and bring openness, accountability and transparency to our state government,” said Findley.
Current Attorney General Tom Miller has served for parts of four decades and Findley believes Iowans are looking for a fresh perspective. Findley will be an Attorney General who is accessible, a good listener, hardworking, energetic and willing to hear from Iowans throughout the state. A conservative Republican, Findley says she offers a strong contrast with Miller and the current status quo and looks forward to traveling the state.
“Tom Miller has spanned four decades in the job and I think Iowans are ready for a new direction and a fresh perspective,” said Findley. “I look forward to hearing from Iowans and bringing our positive vision for the future of Iowa,” she concluded.

Hooray!!! She is definitely what is needed in the AG’s office. Miller has been there damn near as long as she has been alive and Lord knows we need some fresh faces in the Iowa GOP!
Steve Deace and the IFPC say that judges and lawyers don’t make law, so is this office really that important?
Wow. Can you move beyond your hatred of social conservatives and actually say something that makes sense? Obviously not.
Peggy: Are you inferring that Deace is a social conservative? Deace is not a social conservative. His actions speak much louder than his words. Do not forget, he voted for Obama. No social conservative would ever vote for Obama. No social conservative would ever work to elect Democrats and that is exactly what he does.
I’m just done with the “80% rule” like Steve told me to be, Peggy. If she thinks that judges can make law, then we have to conclude that she likewise doesn’t believe that the constitution is based on the gospels, and thus I can’t support her. The grass roots isn’t going to take it anymore!
Vanita,
With your moniker, how could we ever forget?
Peggy, I’m not going to let you forget what Deace actually did. This two-faced hypocrite goes on his 50,000 watt blowtorch each day for 3 hours and spews his hatred toward the Republican party while confusing the gullible into believing his really is more righteous than everyone else.
Recently I read in his blog where he actually says that the Democrat party is more friendly to Christians than the Republican party. No one who has thinking ability would believe this.
No social conservative would ever work against a Republican majority and vote for Democrats. Remember, he voted for OBAMA. Now, you try to justify that. There is no justification.
So Mr Hawk, then you would rather keep Tom Miller in the A.G. office? That makes you no better than Culver, Gronstal & Co.!!!
BTW, of all these geniuses that keep squealing about “court made law” so far I have yet to see one that has even set foot in law school, let alone have a law degree! When you can come up with a legal scholar(other than Cleon Skousen) willing to make that argument, let me know…….
To see a nice young woman like this run for the office that protects the people most is very uplifting. I also understand she is Home Schooled. As being Home Schooled myself I can give her a full endorsement. There are many things wrong with this party that has brought me back to haunt it. Brenna Findley isn’t one of them. It will be nice to have ONE campaign I will not have to keep my eye on.
“So Mr Hawk, then you would rather keep Tom Miller in the A.G. office? That makes you no better than Culver, Gronstal & Co.!!!”
- Yes, Timmy. The grass roots is “fed up”! Steve Deace has explained that it’s better to have someone like Obama and Culver in office than a “RINO” like McCain or Branstad. We simply can no longer accept anything but an unwavering belief that the constitution of the united states is founded upon the gospel of jesus christ. They are virtually indistinguishable documents. So, unless a candidate is willing to support this very fundamental idea, we simply cannot accept him or her on the Republican ticket. I demand that my Attorney General accept the view that the courts don’t make law!
Good Lord man, listen to what you just said!!! How on God’s green earth can you justify that as advancing ANY of your “principles”??? I hate to break it to you but the “grass roots” ain’t exactly lining up to drink your Kool-Aid either!
Timmy… Mr. Hawk’s sarcasm switch is on overload here….
HCR1, I hope you are correct, However there are those around here who think that twisted logic makes perfect sense!
