The Calhoun County native has been active in the Libertarian Party since 2009.

“We want to focus on living our state’s motto not just looking at it on our flag.” Gentry said.

Gentry has previously served on the Executive Committee as the representative for Congressional District 4.

On June 5 Jake Porter won the Libertarian primary for Iowa Governor.

Porter is a business consultant in Council Bluffs and had 54 percent of the vote.
