Brad Magg Announces Candidacy for Iowa House District 381
Colfax, IA – Brad Magg, a dedicated community leader and owner of Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe and Spring City Pharmacy, has announced his candidacy for the Iowa House District 381. A lifelong resident of Jasper County, Magg’s extensive ties to the community drive his passion for public service.
Magg’s journey began at a young age, where local support inspired him to pursue his passion for baking, eventually leading to the establishment of Magg Family Catering. He credits local educators for fostering his entrepreneurial spirit, enabling him to buy Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe at just 20 years old, where he later expanded the menu to cater to local needs. His hands-on experience and commitment to community development are reflected in his 15 years of service on the Colfax City Council.
Magg is particularly concerned about the current state of public education in Iowa, criticizing recent funding cuts and legislation that prioritize private school vouchers over public funding. He emphasizes the importance of a strong public school system, stating, "All Iowans benefit when our public schools are strong." He is committed to restoring local control to school districts and advocates for addressing the healthcare crisis in rural communities, particularly the shortage of OB-GYNs.
Addressing ongoing issues such as property tax restrictions and the diminishing role of local governments, Magg aims to foster bipartisanship and compassion in decision-making if elected. He hopes to bring change to a system he believes has become disconnected from constituent needs under current leadership.
In conclusion, Magg invites voters to consider his vision for a community-focused approach to governance, emphasizing that Jasper County deserves better representation. "I will never force my beliefs onto others," he states, underscoring his commitment to respectful dialogue and community values.
