He is currently the president and CEO of The Family Leader, a social conservative organization. In 2016, he was the National Co-Chair for Ted Cruz for President. Education and early careerVander Plaats graduated from Western Christian High School in Hull, Iowa. He later attended Northwestern College in Orange City with a basketball scholarship, graduating and becoming a teacher and coach in Boone and Jefferson high schools. He was principal at Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn High School and later Sheldon High School. Later he earned masters and specialist degrees in the area of Educational Leadership from Drake University.[1][2] Vander Plaats served as president of Opportunities Unlimited before moving on in the same role with MVP Leadership, Inc.[3] Political campaigns2002In 2002, Vander Plaats unsuccessfully ran for the Iowa GOP gubernatorial nomination, losing to Doug Gross.[4][5] 2006Vander Plaats was a candidate for the 2006 Iowa Republican gubernatorial nomination, competing against Iowa Congressman Jim Nussle. As the race progressed, he withdrew his candidacy for governor in favor of being Nussle's running mate in the general election.[6][7] Calls by GOP party higher-ups for Vander Plaats to get out of the race were reportedly due to Vander Plaats reporting only $459,000 cash on hand compared to Nussle's $2,500,000.[8][9] The Republican ticket of Nussle/Vander Plaats lost the election to the Democratic ticket of Culver/Judge. 2010On January 26, 2009, Vander Plaats announced the formation of a 2010 gubernatorial campaign committee[10] with state Representative Jodi Tymeson as chair and former state Auditor Dick Johnson as co-chair of the committee.[11] In the Iowa gubernatorial election of 2010, incumbent Democratic Governor Chet Culver ran for re-election. The Republican candidates were Vander Plaats, state representative Rod Roberts, and former governor Terry Branstad.[12] IssuesVander Plaats ran on his conservative credentials in the primary. One of his main focuses – promoting business expansion in Iowa[13] – included reducing "property taxes to fuel business expansion and job opportunities,"[14] making Iowa a "leading alternative energy producer and innovator,"[15] applying a "loser-pay system" of tort reform,[16] and marketing Iowa "as a Right to Work state."[14] He supported having representatives from "public school, home school and private school on the Iowa Board of Education."[17] He also pledged to sign an executive order designed to stop county clerks from handing out marriage licenses to same-sex couples.[18] This last issue drew some controversy, as both of his primary opponents maintained that the governor did not have that authority,[19] as did most legal scholars.[20] ResultsIn the Republican primary on June 8, 2010, Vander Plaats lost to Branstad, receiving 40 percent of the vote compared to 50 percent for Branstad. Roberts was third with 9 percent of the vote.[21] Political activism2008 presidential electionVander Plaats served as the Iowa state chair of Republican Presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's 2008 failed presidential campaign.[22] On many occasions, Huckabee called Vander Plaats the "next Governor of Iowa,"[23] suggesting that Vander Plaats would run for Governor again in 2010. 2010 Iowa Supreme Court retention campaignIn 2010, Vander Plaats successfully led the campaign against the retention of three members of the Iowa Supreme Court who had voted to overturn Iowa's Defense of Marriage Act in Varnum v. Brien.[24] 2012 presidential electionIn November 2010, Vander Platts became president and chief executive officer of an umbrella group called The Family Leader, a group that includes the Iowa Family Policy Center, Marriage Matters, and a political action committee. Through the new group, the socially conservative organizations planned to play a more influential role in the 2012 Iowa caucus campaigns than in 2007 and 2008, including offering an endorsement for the first time.[25] In December 2011, Vander Plaats endorsed Rick Santorum for president.[26] ABC News reported that Vander Plaats had solicited up to a million dollars from Santorum and other candidates in exchange for his endorsement, that he and Santorum had discussed the subject of money when negotiating the endorsement, and that he had tried to get Michele Bachmann of Minnesota to drop out of the race. The Family Leader denied the report.[27] 2016 and onIn 2015, Vander Plaats endorsed Ted Cruz for President, saying Cruz was the "most consistent and principled conservative who has the ability to not only win Iowa but I believe to win the (Republican) nomination."[28] In 2018, he published an opinion piece in the New York Times titled "Cruelty at the Border Is Not Justice" in which he characterized the Trump administration family separation policy as "unconscionable. Inexcusable."[29] BooksIn February 2007 Vander Plaats released his first book, Light from Lucas. This story of his third son was published by Tyndale House Publishers.[30] Personal lifeHe and his wife Darla have four sons: Hans, Lucas, Josh, and Logan.[31] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Morris|first1=Sue|title=Locals back Vander Plaats' candidacy|url=http://www.lemarssentinel.com/story/1087495.html|accessdate=August 18, 2014|publisher=Le Mars Daily Sentinel|date=January 27, 2005}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Tidemann|first1=Michael|title=Vander Plaats insists Vilsack will run again - and says he'll beat him|url=http://www.stormlakepilottribune.com/story/1513525.html|accessdate=August 18, 2014|publisher=Storm Lake Pilot Tribune|date=January 24, 2005}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Wolf|first1=Gordon|title=Gubernatorial candidate Vander Plaats wants to increase private investment in state's economy|url=http://www.dbrnews.com/news/gubernatorial-candidate-vander-plaats-wants-to-increase-private-investment-in/article_47dfbbe7-7377-5c77-9a47-75794860f640.html|accessdate=August 18, 2014|publisher=Denison Bulletin Review|date=October 21, 2005}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Eby|first1=Charlotte|title=Primaries 2002: Doug Gross emphasizes experience, knowledge|url=http://globegazette.com/news/local/primaries-doug-gross-emphasizes-experience-knowledge/article_59193c27-6749-57ef-b750-54445bc32626.html|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Globe Gazette|date=May 19, 2002}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Mehta|first1=Seema|title=Conservative leader is a force in Iowa caucuses|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/nov/19/nation/la-na-iowa-evangelical-leader-20111119|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Los Angeles Times|date=November 19, 2011}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Hayworth|first1=Bret|title=Vander Plaats quits governor bid to join Nussle|url=http://siouxcityjournal.com/news/vander-plaats-quits-governor-bid-to-join-nussle/article_971c5147-e3b8-54e0-abfa-1b9efe0fe674.html|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Sioux City Journal|date=February 23, 2006}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Dorman|first1=Todd|title=Nussle, Vander Plaats join forces|url=http://qctimes.com/news/state-and-regional/nussle-vander-plaats-join-forces/article_d3ed7ac8-cb66-5d40-a66a-084c18d60784.html|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Quad City Times|date=February 23, 2006}} 8. ^"GOP sources: Vander Plaats to drop out, endorse Nussle" Des Moines Register, February 20, 2006 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927015116/http://dmregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20060220%2FNEWS%2F60220008%2F1001 |date=September 27, 2007 }} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Nussle plans launch of election-year's first TV ad|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/131893479/|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Des Moines Register|date=April 22, 2006|archiveurl=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/131573876/|archivedate=April 22, 2006}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=Vander Plaats explores run for governor|url=http://www.spencerdailyreporter.com/story/1496629.html|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Spencer Daily Reporter|agency=Associated Press|date=January 26, 2009}} 11. ^Vander Plaats 2010 campaign site 12. ^"Three GOP Candidates for Governor Speak", Radio Iowa, March 9, 2010 13. ^Globe Gazette 14. ^1 Vander Plaats for Governor: Economic Growth and Development 15. ^Vander Plaats for Governor: Energy 16. ^Vander Plaats for Governor: Health Care and Tort Reform 17. ^Vander Plaats for Governor: Education 18. ^Vander Plaats for Governor: Unlike Other Candidates, I’ll Stand Up for Separation of Constitutional Powers 19. ^IowaPolitics.com: Vander Plaats launches attacks against Branstad in first debate {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105232143/http://www.iowapolitics.com/index.iml?Article=191908 |date=January 5, 2012 }} 20. ^Vander Plaats: It's clear Iowa needs new leadership 21. ^{{cite news|last1=Boshart|first1=Rod|title=GOP picks Branstad to face Culver for Iowa governor's seat|url=http://qctimes.com/news/local/government-and-politics/elections/gop-picks-branstad-to-face-culver-for-iowa-governor-s/article_a349554e-7375-11df-9076-001cc4c002e0.amp.html|accessdate=April 12, 2017|work=Quad City Times|date=June 8, 2010}} 22. ^Vander Plaats 2010 campaign biography 23. ^http://ktracy.com/?p=743{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 24. ^{{cite news|last1=Samuels|first1=Robert|title=He saw her marriage as 'unnatural.'
