Becky Wilson has officially announced her candidacy for Henry County Attorney, pledging to bring what she calls “strong, commonsense leadership” to the office.
In a public statement shared with friends, family, and supporters, Wilson said her decision to run came “after much prayer and seeking,” describing the campaign as both a challenge and an exciting opportunity to serve the community. “Henry County needs a strong, commonsense leader who will defend the citizens by prosecuting criminals, clean out corruption, and listen to the people,” she said. “It has been a long time since their needs were put first. I believe I can be that kind of leader.”
Wilson brings years of legal experience to the race. She has worked extensively in law firms in Texas as a paralegal and has practiced in Iowa courts across at least 18 counties, including juvenile court, family court, criminal defense, wills and probate, and personal injury. She believes this broad background uniquely qualifies her to “revamp the prosecutor’s office” in Henry County.
Her campaign will focus on three key priorities:
-
Supporting law enforcement and building strong working relationships with local agencies
-
Protecting the public through firm prosecution of criminal cases
-
Restoring citizens’ trust in the County Attorney’s Office
Wilson emphasized that her platform is rooted in the lifelong values of faith, family, and responsibility. She is seeking early support from friends and neighbors to help launch her campaign, noting that contributions of any size will help share her message with voters.
“I’m truly grateful for your friendship and support,” Wilson said. “I promise to make you proud on the campaign trail and in the County Attorney’s Office.”
The Henry County Attorney’s race will be decided by voters in the upcoming election.
