#290 Zach Lahn - Inside America’s Cancer-Causing Chemical Problem

3/23/20262 hr 12 min

Zach Lahn is a first-time political candidate running in the 2026 Republican primary for Governor of Iowa. Never having held elected office, he launched his campaign from his family farm, positioning himself as a self-funded outsider independent of party leadership and corporate donors. His candidacy is rooted in a belief that Iowa needs leadership grounded in rural life rather than professional politics. Lahn’s platform is socially conservative and economically populist, with a strong focus on agriculture and land ownership. He opposes foreign and corporate control of Iowa farmland and advocates for family farms over large agribusiness monopolies. Economically, he is critical of corporate consolidation and globalism, supporting antitrust action and policies that favor small businesses. On social issues, Lahn is anti-abortion, opposes gender-affirming medical procedures for minors, and emphasizes traditional family structures and parental control in education. He also runs on a tough-on-crime platform, with a focus on fentanyl trafficking and strong support for law enforcement.

    [instrumental music] Well, I got a, I got a little question for you before we get going that doesn't really relate to what we're talking to, but I just wanna knock it out. The USDA says the average US farmer is fifty-eight point one years old, and in Iowa, the average producer is fifty-seven point six. Vice's tractor hacking coverage on farmers fighting repair restrictions went viral with a related Vice YouTube video surfacing at about thirteen million views. I had no idea people were that concerned about this. This sounds like... I had a conversation about this exact thing with, um, Secretary Driscoll about right to repair for our, our military. I di- I didn't even know this was going on in the farming communities. Here's some, here's some points. Producers under thirty-five nationally, two hundred and ninety-six thousand four hundred and eighty, nine percent of all producers. That's not, that's not good. Just context
