Rich Leopold: I'm a person of faith; I volunteer with faith-based groups

Everyone who runs for office should tell you their beliefs. I am a person who is sustained by the daily practice of faith. I grew up in the Lutheran church, and over the years we have raised our family in Iowa Lutheran congregations.

Being involved in my community and state are important also. There is never enough time, but I have served on boards and volunteered doing "grunt work" for dozens of non-profit, faith-based, youth-centered, and/or conservation organizations.
