Candidate for Secretary of Agriculture - Fritz Groszkruger

Family Information:
Wife Dawn, daughter Gretchen - high school senior, 2 sons - Hans and Karl in college.

Occupation:
We farm 300 acres, raise corn, soybeans, hay, beef, pork, chicken, eggs, and a market garden.

Educational Background:
1 3/4 years of college, but the most education I've had is self taught in economics to avoid the influence of the education establishment.

Volunteer Community Service:
I've served on the county pork board and am a volunteer with the Hansell Fire Dept.

The reason I'm eager to serve as Secretary of Agriculture is because I feel the State has assumed responsibilities best left to the private sector and I could possibly change that.

Candidate Statement

I am Fritz Groszkruger, Libertarian, and best candidate for Secretary of Agriculture in Iowa. The reason I'm best suited for the job is that I believe each individual has rights given by God, not the state. By that I mean we are all sovereign individuals who should not be violated by anyone, whether it's our neighbors or our government. This is the idea that inspired our founding fathers to secede from England. It also is the only reason we are the richest and least polluted nation on earth.

That position is in danger. As politicians buy votes by doing favors for contributors and freinds, our economy is being transformed from a free-market to a system that rewards influence. The taxpayers of this state should not be obliged to fund research or promote products for private companies. The people of influence are trampling on the rights of neighbors and taxpayers.

By having a deep-seated belief in the idea that thousands of individuals can guide an economy better than a committee or bureaucrat I am the best candidate to let the marvel of capitalism work for the prosperity of Iowa.
