22-year-old Iowa House candidate aims to inspire Gen Z conservatism
Key Points:
- Dillon Fillion, a 22-year-old Domino’s delivery driver and criminal justice student, is running for Iowa’s 81st House District, aiming to become the youngest candidate ever in Scott County and inspire Gen Z to embrace conservatism.
- Fillion’s campaign priorities include cutting or eliminating property taxes, boosting police funding through a proposed "Back the Blue Act," and increasing parental control over education.
- Motivated by his research into alleged Democratic corruption and influenced by conservative figures like Charlie Kirk, Fillion seeks to bring fresh perspectives to a district he believes is underserved by incumbent Democrat Daniel Gosa.
- Endorsed by Sen. Rick Scott and Iowa House Majority Leader Bobby Kaufmann, Fillion hopes to energize young voters and position Iowa as a top state for affordability, safety, and family life.
- Balancing campaigning with his job and studies, Fillion emphasizes a generational shift in politics, encouraging more Gen Z participation to "save this country" and provide new leadership.
