Why I’m running non-partisan

The Constitution of the United States guarantees the right to a fair trial; this includes the right to have an impartial judge. The duty to remain impartial not only requires that the judge be impartial in fact, but that he or she appears unbiased. Offutt v. United States, 348 S. 11, 348 U. S. 14. Partisan Governors and Presidents, when appointing judges, impute the appearance of partiality onto judges they appoint. This is why our state and nation appear riddled with “conservative” and “liberal” judges instead of impartial judges. For the sake of restoring Iowa’s judiciary, I have chosen to run nonpartisan.

In light of the numerous protests going on around Iowa, such as the student-led DEI-removal protests at Iowa State University, State Capitol protests against the removal of transgender people from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, Ames Visibility Brigade protests, Hands Off! protests, #NoKings protests, Wilson warns protestors to help them avoid the same pitfalls. Her comprehensive platform for Governor ties in key points throughout U.S. history, and learns from crucial errors made by the Sanders campaign, and calls upon support from frustrated Iowans, “Instead of burning the few resources we have left on protesting, let’s pool our resources toward (1) A gubernatorial campaign that will help all Iowans, and (2) Building grassroots casework and taking our fight to the federal courts… READ FULL ARTICLE.
