As a 5th generation Iowan, J.D. Scholten is defined by his Iowa values. All his life, as a teammate and a professional, he’s been surrounded by people who put others first. He’s played baseball in 7 different countries, including for his hometown Sioux City Explorers, and later worked as a paralegal specializing in intellectual property law. But who he is has never changed: an Iowan, a community member and teammate with a strong work ethic and integrity. His family raised him to believe that hard work, civility and community are the values we should all aspire to, and he is committed to living those values through his campaign to beat Steve King. At 6 foot 6 he plans to “Stand Tall for All” in Congress!
