2025 Capitol Day Featured Speakers

Stephen Davis: 2025 Homeschool Iowa Capitol Day Featured Speaker

Stephen Davis
Turning Point USA

Stephen Davis is a bold conservative political activist and co-host of Turning Point USA’s hit series, Campus Crashers, where he can be found challenging the leftist narrative that dominates today’s culture at grassroots event conventions, high schools, and college campuses nationwide.

Although Stephen was once left-leaning, he saw through the veil, allowing him to use his past experiences to connect with audiences who have opposing views.

Stephen’s mission is simple: to encourage his peers, liberate ensnared minds from the clutches of mainstream media, and defeat widespread narratives that have been destroying America’s minority communities.

STEPHEN DAVIS will be offering Homeschool Iowa Capitol Day presentations at the Calvary Chapel location and a some brief comments at the Noon Rally in the Capitol Rotunda.

IOWA STATE SENATOR
Mike PIKE

For twenty-five years, as the owner of Pike Mechanical, Mike Pike has staked his reputation on being honest, ethical, fair, and in taking pride in his work.

That’s the kind of plumber he is, and that's the kind of State Senator he is committed to be, as well. 

Mike is a lifelong resident of Des Moines, and when he and his wife were looking for their first home after getting married 26 years ago, they found one on the same street he grew up on.

They are raising their family today in Mike's childhood neighborhood, a community filled with hard-working people he has grown to love.

Mike is a middle-class, blue-collar guy dedicated to representing his neighbors at the Iowa Statehouse.

IOWA STATE SENATOR MIKE PIKE will speak at the Noon Rally in the Capitol Rotunda. 

Lauren Gideon: 2024 Homeschool Iowa Capitol Day Featured Speaker

LAUREN GIDEON, 
CLASSICAL CONVERSATIONS

Lauren Gideon is the Director of Public Relations and Affairs for Classical Conversations.  She has been a home educator since her first student was born 18 years ago.

She came to Classical Conversations for support when the student count in their home grew beyond what she thought she could navigate on her own. The Foundations curriculum brought their family together and provided a scope and sequence that was not only manageable but always directed their attention to Christ.

Lauren credits her experience as a home educator and as a leader within Classical Conversations for giving her the classical tools to tackle whatever opportunities come her way. In addition to homeschooling her seven children, she co-leads community classes that unpack our nation's founding documents and civic responsibility. However, she is happiest at home, preferably outside, with her husband of 18 years tackling their newest adventure of building a modern homestead.

LAUREN GIDEON will speak at the Noon Rally in the Capitol Rotunda.
