Garriott, who is challenging incumbent Republican Iowa Rep. Zach Nunn, portrays herself as a mother focused on protecting children and families in her latest campaign ad — a move her critics argue is an attempt to cover up a more radical record as a lawmaker. d(RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: ‘Who’s Paying Me’ — Iowa Dem Candidate Admits To Morphing Persona)

The ad features images of Garriott with her family and two sons as she emphasizes her role as a mother and public school parent. The ad also features images of Nunn while a voice-over of Garriott claims her record is being taken out of context.

“I’m a mom with two kids in Iowa public schools. Their education and safety literally keep me up at night, so when my opponent cherry-picks and twists my record, I have to set the record straight,” Garriott stated.

She then addresses transgender issues and parental rights, stating, “I’m Sarah Trone Garriott, and I oppose letting men in women’s locker rooms and let parents, not politicians, make decisions for their kids. I approve this message because politicians have become too extreme on these issues and I’ll always put kids and families first.”

However, Garriott’s record as an Iowa state senator shows she previously voted against legislation addressing access to school restrooms and changing areas. (RELATED: Democratic Candidate Sarah Garriott Complains Iowa Leaders Are Too White, Too Christian, Too Male)

In 2023, Garriott voted against a bill that would prohibit “persons from entering single and multiple occupancy restrooms or changing areas and other facilities in elementary and secondary schools that do not correspond with the person’s biological sex and including effective date provisions,” according to a Legiscan report.
