Lanon is Running for Congress! Become a Founding Donor Today

Lanon Baccam is a combat veteran, public servant and son of rural Iowa. He was born and raised in Mt. Pleasant, and at age 17, enlisted in the Iowa National Guard to give back to the state and country that gave him so much.


In the wake of 9/11, Lanon left community college and answered the call to serve his country. As an Iowa National Guardsman, Lanon was activated and deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 as a combat engineer, focusing on explosive demolitions and force protection in and around Kandahar. 


Following his service in the Army, Lanon served in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack. There he worked to support veterans, expand pathways to jobs in the agriculture industry, and promote training and entrepreneurship opportunities for veterans transitioning to careers in agriculture.


Lanon is running for Congress because he believes all Iowans should have the opportunities afforded to him and his family: access to good paying jobs, affordable health care, the ability to retire with dignity, and reproductive rights. Help him flip IA-03 blue and donate today.
