Warren Grady

Senator Warren Grady is a political institution in Iowa, having represented the state in the U.S. Senate for over three decades. Born and raised in Polk County to a family of modest means, Warren learned the value of hard work early on, working summers on local farms and later attending Iowa State University on a scholarship. He began his political career as a state legislator, quickly rising through the ranks due to his sharp mind and ability to forge coalitions.

As a Senator, Warren is a staunch advocate for Iowa’s agricultural sector, working tirelessly to secure subsidies and protect trade deals that benefit the state’s farmers. A proponent of traditional conservative values, he has been a reliable voice on issues ranging from fiscal responsibility to national defense. However, he also takes pride in his ability to reach across the aisle when it comes to infrastructure projects and veterans’ affairs.

Widowed for nearly a decade, Warren often speaks of his late wife, Eleanor, with deep affection, frequently citing her as his source of inspiration. His two grown children and five grandchildren remain central to his life, and he spends much of his free time reading about history and policy to inform his legislative work.

Now 82, Warren’s re-election campaign emphasizes "stability and wisdom in a time of change." While some question his age, his supporters see him as a pillar of experience and integrity. He remains sharp and determined, viewing his continued service as his duty to the people of Iowa and the nation.
