“Aime is a hard-working and dedicated public servant. I gladly support her candidacy for the Iowa House. She has the education, the local elected experience and the drive, even in the face of today’s politics, to make us all proud as a State Representative. It is without hesitation that I endorse Aime Wichtendahl for the Iowa House in District 80.”

“Having represented much of the district in the past that Aime is running for this year, I can say with confidence she will represent the area well in Des Moines. Aime has a proven track record of getting things done as she has been on the City Council in Hiawatha for a number of years. I look forward to working with Aime in the lowa State House to continue our fight to fully fund public education and ensure women can make their own healthcare decisions all while putting people over politics. Join me in supporting Aime for lowa State House this November.”
Bill Bennett
Former Mayor of Hiawatha
“During my time as mayor of Hiawatha, Aime was one of the most important members of my team. Working together, we delivered efficient and effective government for the citizens of Hiawatha – that expanded business growth, built new homes, and lowered the property tax levy. I fully support Aime Wichtendahl for the lowa House of Representatives. “
Rob Archibald
Member of the Hiawatha City Council
“Aime is a dedicated community leader with a proven track record of advocating for fairness, inclusivity, and positive change. In a time when leadership and integrity are more important than ever, Aime stands out as a champion for our community, dedicated to bringing positive change and real solutions.”
Dick Olson
Former Member of the Hiawatha City Council
“I was a Hiawatha City Councilman for twenty years. I was fortunate to serve with Aime for eight of those years. She considers herself a public servant rather than a politician. She has always been an informed, reasoned voice when making Council decisions for the greater good of Hiawatha. As the new House District 80 State Representative, Aime will continue to use her reasoned voice to champion meaningful legislation for the greater good of ALL Iowans. Most importantly, Aime will do an excellent job building coalitions for just causes from both sides of the aisle.”
