Northey: I've never endorsed a statewide Republican candidate in a primary before, but like they say, there's a first time for everything. Hi, this is Bill Northey and I am pleased to endorse business leader Mark Jacobs in the US Senate Republican primary.
As the Secretary of Agriculture in Iowa, I consider it my job to promote agriculture and it's businesses. These jobs include family farms, small town elevators, big city factories and hundreds of smaller companies in between. In Iowa, the business of agriculture pays a lot of bills.
Mark Jacobs has the experience to help Iowa agriculture and the thousands of jobs related to farming. As a successful CEO, he protected jobs and made a payroll. That's good for Iowa agriculture.
Even more, I've gotten to know Mark and he has a work ethic that would make any Iowan proud.
He's a conservative and a man of principle. I hope you will consider a vote for Mark Jacobs on June 3rd. This is Bill Northey...thanks for listening.
Jacobs: I'm Mark Jacobs and I approve this message. Paid for by Jacobs for Iowa.
