Don't be afraid to step through some of that uncertainty that you might feel when you're passionate about doing something.

What I've found is that every time you have that uncertainty, if you face it, walk through it, you grow as an individual and gain confidence.

I believe that the definition of marriage is between one man and one woman from a religious aspect. That is my belief. I have stated that. I always have believed that.

As we continue to learn how to live with COVID-19 until a vaccine is available, we'll also learn how to carefully balance not only the health of Iowans but the health of our economy.

Obamacare is unaffordable, unworkable and unsustainable.

Long-term, Congress needs to replace Obamacare with market-driven health reform that's affordable for everyday Iowans and empowers consumers.

Welfare reform passed in the 90s worked because states were given maximum authority along with adequate funding. This model can work for the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

I believe that the Trump-Pence ticket is the team that can turn this country around, improve the lives of Americans and Iowans and especially those of women.

Well for sure I'm conservative.

I grew up in a small town in Iowa, town of about 500 people.

We need to make sure that we have mental health counselors in our schools. We need to make sure that we have possibly a law enforcement security guards in each one of the schools.

We need to look for ways to secure our schools, single-point of entrance.

I've made it pretty clear that I can't legislate or dictate proper behavior. You can't. You do everything that you can.

So often public service comes with sacrifice. A sacrifice that our men and women in uniform make each day.

I will always be a relentless advocate for our farmers, producers, and our way of life.

No parent, family member, or friend should be told that treatment isn't available for their loved one. By establishing a dedicated and stable fund for mental health, we will give hope to so many who are suffering in silence.

People can't work and have the quality of life they deserve if they aren't healthy.

The Invest in Iowa Act is a bold vision for Iowa that lowers the overall tax burden on Iowans, and invests significantly in mental health and water quality.

We have no interest in raising taxes.

When you show no willingness to compromise, then nothing ever happens.

Compromise is part of how we get things done.

Every day, Iowans step up and make a difference together through volunteerism.

Connected communities are fundamental to all aspects of growth and prosperity, and essential to keep our young people and attract others to rural Iowa.

Iowa is speckled with vibrant communities like Wilton, each with its own character and its own story to tell.

You never know what's really happening behind closed doors. Everything isn't always what it seems.

Positive thoughts create a positive life!

I love Far Niente, Cakebread Chardonnay, and I love Opus One!

OK so let me just say I love Louis Vuitton and I always have, from purses to shoes to luggage and more... What can I say?

I thank God every day for all my blessings.

I love birthdays, holidays, and anything that calls for a celebration.

I like to have my houses fully decorated when I move in so I can actually enjoy them. Nothing's more annoying than trying to have breakfast and having to unpack boxes just to get a butter knife! It's hell!

Coy Wire played in the NFL for 9 years and is now a motivational speaker and has a book out called 'Change Your Mind.' He is an amazing person with such positive energy! When Kroy and I first met and started dating, there weren't a whole lot of people that supported us, but Coy always did.

I never take my things for granted, or the things I've been granted will get taken away.

When I was seven months pregnant with Ariana, my husband cheated on me, so I became a single mother to a four-year-old and a newborn.

My motto in life has always been 'Everything happens for a reason.' No matter what, good or bad, there is a reason for it all.

I'm thin and never thought I'd have a stroke.

I have nothing to hide. I believe when you do you naturally become defensive.

You find strength in your moments of weakness.

I love the spa.

Dallas Austin... where do I begin? I adore him - he is one of the kindest people I know.

I'll never take for granted the amazing relationship me and my husband have, because I know so few are lucky enough to have that!

If it's one thing my parents did right, it was teaching me to have a good work ethic, and I plan on doing the same with my kids!

The inspiration behind 'Tardy for the Party' was first and foremost my daughter Brielle. She co-wrote the original lyrics when she was nine years old.

Let me say that I would never talk about anyone's child in a negative way.

I like to do squats because I want my butt to be bigger.

I was a nurse.

Prior to getting pregnant with KJ, I was never in sweats, but anyone who's ever been pregnant can relate to me when I say 'comfort is key.'

I'm living proof that you can create your own life.

Everyone thought I was crazy when I said I have a nursing degree, but I believe I proved it.

The people you are supposed to be able to trust the most is your family, and when that trust is broken, it's painful.
