"I've been impressed with Fred's ability to boil the issues down to the essential items, without a lot of hyperbole," stated Representative Worthan.  "He just plain tells the truth.  We're in a long hard struggle and there are no easy answers like some of the other candidates are coming with."

Representative Worthan has three sons. His oldest son Ryan is a Major in the Army and earned a Silver Star for serving in Afghanistan and two Bronze Stars for serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Shannon is a Captain in the Army and earned a Bronze Star in Iraq.

"I am pleased to have the support of Representative Gary Worthan,"  said Senator Thompson.  "I admire his  leadership in the Iowa General Assembly and his commitment to conservative principles.  Representative Worthan understands the increasing challenges we are facing as a nation both domestically and internationally and the need for strong consistent conservative leadership."
