"These claims are false. Neither Adam nor anyone affiliated with the campaign threatened Eddie Andrews. We did have conversations with him inviting him to join Team Steen because we respect Eddie, believe he has a lot to offer, and know he would be a valuable part of a Steen administration but at no point was it presented as a threat.
We respect the decision of the State Objection Panel and the role this process plays in upholding Iowa’s election laws. The challenge process exists to ensure transparency and accountability, and it functioned as intended.
David Bush is a supporter of our campaign and we are grateful for his support. However, his decision to file a challenge was made independently, as is his right under Iowa law.
Our focus remains on winning this race, earning the trust of voters across Iowa, and continuing to make our case for the future of this state."
