Message From Emma

Dear Friends,

I am running for the Iowa House of Representatives in House District 29. I am deeply dedicated to the people of Linn and Johnson counties and I am committed to representing you and working on your behalf in the Iowa State House.

I am asking for your support and your vote and in return I make you this promise: I will always listen to your concerns. I will always respond to your needs.

I will unwaveringly support legislation that follows my core conservative beliefs: I am pro-life, pro-family, pro-traditional marriage, opposed to gun control, opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants, opposed to government seizure of property, and opposed to forced unionization. I will take a hard line on punishment for sex offenders, strongly support renewable energy, and tirelessly advocate for senior citizens. (Please click on the Issues link above for more on my positions.)

I believe it is more important to "do something" than to "be somebody" and the actions I take as your legislator will be for the benefit of the citizens in my district, not to make a name for myself.

If you have any questions about my positions or beliefs, please contact me or my Campaign Manager Tim Demuth. I would be pleased to visit with you individually or speak to your group at a house party or event.

The issues I will fight for, and the principles I stand for, affect all age groups of Iowans, from our youngest, most innocent child to our oldest, most experienced senior.

I have a motto that guides me as a candidate every day on the campaign, and as an individual in daily life. I had the motto coming into my first campaign in 2006 and I stand by it today: "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." No matter who you are, no matter how important you think you are, let's be good and just to each other. Let's unite as Iowans and Americans to work together for a better tomorrow. It's what our parents taught us. It's what our founding fathers taught us.

"One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

With my appreciation and heartfelt thanks for your time and support,

Emma Nemecek

What Others Are Saying

Rep. Jim Leach

Former U.S. Congressman, Iowa's 2nd District

"Emma Nemecek is a model U.S. citizen; an immigrant who so loves the American way, she  has made an avocation of helping candidates of her chosen political party. That party has been so impressed and grateful for her dedication that it has asked her to be a candidate for the State Legislature. Emma has responded by knocking on every door in an effort to meet every voter. Instead of grimly noting that things have gone wrong in this country, Emma brings a positive message and her contagious smile to everyone she meets. Having been a disadvantaged child in a disadvantaged country, Emma has a deep understanding of the big picture. Here is, after all, a particularly good reason why people all over the world want to be part of the American way."

David A. Vaudt, CPA, Des Moines

Iowa State Auditor

"Emma Nemecek has the integrity, skills, and work ethic to be an outstanding State Representative. I'm proud to call Emma my friend, and I know she will do a great job representing House District 29."

Rep. Christopher Rants, Sioux City

Speaker, Iowa House of Representatives

"Emma is running one of the most exciting campaigns I have ever seen, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She is going to be a legislator who takes all points of view into consideration and ultimately makes the right decision for her voters. She will be an independent voice for area communities."
