Iowa Democrats’ 2026 gubernatorial frontrunner, two-term state auditor Rob Sand, will unveil an ‘Accountability for All’ campaign platform on Monday morning aimed at winning over independent voters in what’s expected to be a competitive 2026 election for retiring GOP Governor Kim Reynolds’s seat.

In a new policy platform shared first with National Review, the state’s lone Democratic statewide official and presumptive gubernatorial nominee is pitching Iowans on a series of accountability-focused campaign proposals, from implementing age limits, stock trading bans, and term limits for state lawmakers to strengthening whistleblower protections and requiring elected officials to take cognitive tests and civics tests.
