Eric is one of the hardest-working leaders for Iowa that I know. He delves into the issues, he proudly advocates for his district at the statehouse, and he works long hours to talk to everyone — regardless of party. I can’t wait to work with him and see the bipartisan victories that he’ll deliver for Western Iowa.

Sean Bagniewski, Iowa House Representative District 35

During my time in the Iowa Legislature, I learned that true public service isn’t about scoring political points—it’s about waking up every day focused on how to make life better for working families. It requires grit, honesty, and a willingness to work with anyone to achieve real results. That is exactly why I am proud to support Eric Armstrong for Iowa House District 20.

Eric has already proven he has the unique ability to bridge political divides. In the 2025 legislative session, his grassroots efforts at the Capitol brought both sides of the aisle together, resulting in unanimous bipartisan support. That is the kind of practical, common-sense leadership Des Moines desperately needs right now.

From supporting public schools to strengthening our local economy, Eric is doing the real work for Western Iowa families.  He’s not just talking; he’s out there knocking on thousands of doors, listening to the needs of the people in Carter Lake and Council Bluffs. Eric Armstrong has the integrity, the business experience, and the dedication to put Western Iowa families first. I urge you to vote for him.

Dave Dawson, Former Iowa State Representative & Candidate for U.S. House

As a fourth-generation native of Council Bluffs, a retired firefighter, and a proud trade unionist, I know what keeps our community safe and strong. It isn’t political posturing; it’s hard work, mutual respect, and a commitment to protecting the people who live and work here. That is why I am standing with Eric Armstrong for Iowa House District 20.

Serving on the City Council, I’ve seen firsthand how decisions made in Des Moines directly impact our neighborhoods, our local first responders, and our municipal workforce. We desperately need leaders in the Statehouse who respect local control and understand that a thriving city requires fully funded public schools and strong support for our working-class families.

Eric Armstrong has proven he doesn’t just show up at election time; he listens. He has a background rooted in real-world problem-solving and an unwavering respect for the workers who build and protect Western Iowa. Eric will be a fierce voice for Council Bluffs and Carter Lake. I know he has our back, and I am proud to give him my full endorsement.

Steve Gorman, Council Bluffs City Councilmember & Retired Firefighter

For more than three decades serving Western Iowa in the State Senate, I learned exactly what it takes to deliver real results for Council Bluffs and Carter Lake. It takes practical problem-solving and a refusal to put partisan bickering over the needs of everyday Iowans. That is why I am proud to endorse Eric Armstrong for Iowa House District 20. 

Eric isn’t a career politician. He is a lifelong problem solver, a former manufacturing executive, and an entrepreneur who understands how to build an economy that works for everybody. He has already proven he can get things done at our state Capitol—working successfully with both parties to pass a crucial grassroots initiative unanimously. 

Western Iowa needs a representative who can protect public school funding, champion local workers, and leverage our geographic advantage to boost regional jobs. Eric Armstrong has the business sense, the common-sense approach, and the deep-rooted integrity we need in Des Moines. Join me in voting for Eric.
