From Pizza to Politics
Dillon Fillion, a 22-year-old Domino’s delivery driver, is running for the Iowa House. He’s the youngest candidate in Scott County and hopes to inspire Gen Z to embrace conservatism. Fillion says he’s seen a shift in his community and wants to bring fresh faces to politics.
Two Full-Time Jobs
Fillion works full-time as a delivery driver while campaigning. He calls it “two full-time jobs” and says he’s juggling them. He’s also a student at Scott Community College, pursuing a criminal justice degree. His campaign website highlights his Christian upbringing and strong work ethic.
A New Path
Before politics, Fillion dreamed of playing hockey. He changed direction after becoming interested in politics in 2019. He says he found it strange that Democrats accused Trump of colluding with Russia and started researching what he calls corruption in the Democratic Party.
Conservative Roots
Fillion credits Charlie Kirk with helping young men find purpose in conservative principles. He says his generation is conservative and needs to turn out more in elections. He’s challenging incumbent Democrat Daniel Gosa and claims his opponent doesn’t represent the district’s values.
Priorities and Promises
Fillion’s top priorities include eliminating property taxes, boosting police funding, and giving parents more say in education. He says he wants Iowa to be the No. 1 state for living, working, and raising a family. His campaign website lists these goals and promises to make Iowa more affordable.
