Guy Morgan
Born and raised in Garden City, Iowa, Guy Morgan has spent his life working the same kinds of jobs as the people he will represent in Des Moines. From an early age, he learned the value of hard work and perseverance. In fact, he’s done it all — from detasseling corn in the hot Iowa summers, to flipping burgers over a grill, stocking shelves overnight at grocery stores, stacking pallets in warehouses, and greeting guests at hotel front desks. Through these experiences, Guy has seen firsthand what hard work truly means.
Therefore, Guy Morgan is running for the Iowa House to fight for Iowans who are being left behind — and for a planet that desperately needs protection. The environment is on the edge of collapse, and yet, corporate greed continues to put profits before people
His promise is simple: he will fight tooth and nail for the wellbeing of every human being — not for corporate interests. In short, he’s committed to protecting our future and restoring faith in public service.
Benjamin Olsen
was born in Ames, Iowa. Olsen attended Iowa public schools and then went on to earn an associate's degree in science from DMACC in 2020. Olsen then transferred to Iowa State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering in 2025.
His career experience includes working as a product order engineer with Emerson, working as a lubrication technician at George White Chevrolet, and as a page in the 87th Iowa General Assembly.
Drawing on these professional and educational experiences, his political journey is driven by a simple belief: that every Iowan deserves a reliable and transparent government that works as hard as they do.
With this belief at the core, Benjamin understands that the best solutions come from listening to the people. His campaign is a call to action for all who believe in the enduring promise of the state of Iowa.
