A Potent Tool for Reform: Narcisse and The Iowa Party

If you’re an independent candidate for governor in Iowa, you know you’re getting traction when your message earns the support of county chairs from both major parties across the state.

Iowa Party Defined on KTIV

Narcisse says he needs two percent of the popular vote to launch the Iowa party as an official political party in the state.

“A new unique Iowa Party this isn’t ideologically driven, but is focused on accountability and watchdogging government on behalf of the tax payers.”

by Jonathan Narcisse – September 26, 2014

During my time on the Des Moines School Board I became painfully aware The Des Moines Register lacked a general interest in facts, data and empirical evidence. They had an agenda, and if the truth had to be sacrificed in subjugation to that agenda, it was slayed enthusiastically.

An Open Letter To Carol Hunter,
Senior News Director at the Des Moines Register
RE: The Register’s Media Malfeasance

Dear Carol,
When I announced I was exploring a run for Iowa governor, the Des Moines Register went back seven years in my history to state: “Narcisse is best known for his contentious two years on the Des Moines school board.
