Brad has been a city council member in Colfax since 2009 and is the owner of Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe in Prairie City as well The Bacon Box, The Snack Box, and G-Pop's Candy Box food stands at the Iowa State Fair. In addition to owning Goldie’s, which won best tenderloin by the Iowa Pork Producers Association in 2009, Brad founded Magg Family Catering at the age of 14 and is a co-owner of Spring City Pharmacy. ​

​

As a lifelong Jasper County resident, Brad saw that while his friends in Colfax were eager to leave their hometown, he saw the potential of his community and planted his roots. But sadly, now a lot of his friends want to leave the state because they don’t think they’re welcome here or it doesn’t align with the way they want to raise their family. Brad still believes in Iowa’s potential and that the state and Jasper County are “far better” than what lawmakers are trying to turn it into. This is why Magg feels inspired to run for House District 38, which covers nearly all of Jasper County apart from Monroe and Prairie City.

 

Representatives elected to the statehouse need to focus on Iowa issues and the issues that affect the state’s individual communities. Magg is concerned about the direction of our state, specifically around tax reform, attacks on public education, and healthcare access. He is going to focus on advocating for these issues and what Jasper County actually wants once he is elected to the state house. He is also dedicated to bi-partisan cooperation and focusing on the common good rather than pushing personal agendas.
