Jeneary Files Nomination Papers With Iowa Secretary Of State, Paul Pate
(Des Moines) — On Monday, February 28, 2022, the first day eligible for state and federal office candidates to submit nomination petitions, Iowa House Representative Dr. Tom Jeneary, a Republican from Le Mars, delivered and filed his nomination papers with Iowa Secretary of State, Paul Pate inside the Iowa Capitol Building.
Jeneary has been a State House Representative for the last four years serving the people of the Iowa House 5th Legislative District. Jeneary is now seeking re-election to the newly formed Iowa House 3rd District which encompasses the northern half of Plymouth County and the southern half of Sioux County.
Jeneary is a conservative and believes in the state maintaining a balanced budget, while reducing taxes for the people.
“During the past few legislative sessions when the Republican party held a majority in both chambers, along with Governor Kim Reynolds’ leadership, the state legislature was able to accomplish many goals. Although much has been accomplished, the work is not finished. I want to continue serving the people of northwest Iowa, and to be their voice in the legislature,” said Jeneary.
“I enjoy visiting with people and listening to their concerns, and it is a great feeling when the state legislature takes action that benefits the great people of Iowa,” said Jeneary.
Jeneary is a retired dentist. Prior to his being elected to the Iowa House, Jeneary was appointed by former Iowa Governor Terry Branstad to serve on the Iowa Dental Board of Examiners.
