Jason M. Schultz (born November 27, 1972) is the Iowa State Senator from the 9th District. A Republican, he served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 2009 to 2015. He lives in Schleswig, Crawford County.
Schultz worked as an insurance adjuster at Farmers Mutual Insurance Association in Schleswig and has farmed near Schleswig with his father DeWayne Schultz. For 13 years Schultz served as a volunteer firefighter, and served seven years in the Iowa National Guard. He is a retiring member of the Horn Memorial Hospital Foundation in the fall of 2007. In 2011 he endorsed Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul.
As of January 2013[update], Schultz serves on several committees in the Iowa House – the Economic Growth, Environmental Protection, and Labor committees. He also serves as the chair of the Local Government committee and as a member of the Administration and Regulation Appropriations Subcommittee.
Jason is serving his third term in the Iowa House. He was first elected in 2008.
Jason farms with his parents as they have together for the last 18 years. Jason served seven years in the Iowa National Guard. He has also served as a volunteer firefighter for the Schleswig Volunteer Fire Department for 13 years, serving two of those as the Department’s Chief. He has been and continues to be a member of the Horn Memorial Hospital Foundation.
Jason and his wife, Amy, have been married for 13 years and have two daughters: Josie and Camryn. They are members of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Schleswig where Jason serves as an elder, a Sunday School Teacher, and is also one of two Sunday School Superintendents.
During the 2017 legislative session, Schultz voted for House File 295 which eliminates local control in municipalities that voted to increase their own minimum wage locally. Schultz's vote will cause the minimum wage to be lowered in four counties which had already voted to raise their minimum wage (Johnson, Linn, Wapello, and Polk). Estimates show that at least 64,300 residents of Iowa will have their wages effectively lowered, including 35,800 to 36,000 in Polk County, 10,100 in Johnson County, and 18,400 in Linn County.
