The Iowa Association of Business and Industry is set to host a forum focused on business policy issues, featuring Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand. The event will take place on Thursday morning at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Coralville, Iowa.

Forum Details

The forum was initially planned to include both the Republican primary winner and Rob Sand. However, Zach Lahn, the Republican candidate, will not be participating. According to the association, Lahn cited the short turnaround time from Tuesday’s primary as the reason for his absence.

Rob Sand will have the opportunity to share his views on key business policy issues, including workforce development, tax and regulatory policy, and economic growth. Attendees will also have the chance to ask questions and engage with Sand on these important topics.

Local Economic Focus

This forum is part of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry’s conference, which aims to address pressing economic issues facing the state. The in-person audience will be limited to conference attendees, ensuring a focused discussion on the economic future of Iowa.

As the only candidate present, Sand’s remarks will provide insight into his plans for supporting Iowa’s business community and fostering economic growth. The absence of a Republican voice at the forum highlights the challenges of scheduling and participation in the fast-paced political landscape.
