Zach Lahn Selects Iowa Rep. Derek Wulf as Running Mate for Gubernatorial Campaign
The ticket pairs two farmers and highlights Wulf’s agricultural background and House Agriculture Committee leadership.
- On Friday, Republican gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn announced State Representative Derek Wulf as his running mate, providing Iowa voters a clearer picture of the Republican ticket for the 2026 election.
- Wulf, a fourth-generation farmer and rancher serving his second term in the Iowa House, chairs the House Agriculture Committee and previously worked as a swine production specialist for Cargill.
- Describing Wulf as an "Iowa First fighter," Lahn praised his legislative record, citing his work defending private property rights and advocating for rural communities.
- Democratic nominee Rob Sand, who recently selected Crawford County Supervisor Dave Muhlbauer as his running mate, criticized the pick; Deputy Campaign Manager Emma called it proof of "failed status quo."
- Delegates will officially place Wulf's name into nomination at the Republican State Convention on Saturday, following Lahn's primary victory earlier this month against Congressman Randy Feenstra.
