Politics needs more truth-tellers. That’s why this page isn’t just for good press — it’s for all of it. The praise, the questions, the hard conversations, and yes, even the hit pieces. I’m not running to hide from my past. I’m running to own it, to speak up for those who feel unheard, and to bring a new level of honesty to Iowa politics.
Here’s where you’ll find my journey — the full story — as told through interviews, articles, and media coverage.

News & Press for Grant Hill
In the spirit of full transparency, this section includes articles and media coverage about my personal past — including news reports related to my criminal convictions and my current status on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry.
Many of these articles focus on the mistakes I’ve made and the consequences that followed. They may be difficult to read — but they are part of my story, and I believe voters deserve to have the full picture when deciding who to support.
My past does not define who I am today, but it does inform the perspective I bring to this campaign — one rooted in accountability, redemption, and a commitment to building a better future for all Iowans. I’m not here to run from my past. I’m here to prove through action, not words, that change is possible — and that everyone deserves a second chance.
Iowa Sex Offender Registration
Here is a direct link to my listing on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. This is a public record, and I believe it’s important for voters to have access to all of the facts — both good and bad — as they consider who to support.
I am not here to run from my past or make excuses for it. I’ve made serious mistakes and faced the full weight of the consequences. Today, I’m working every day to prove that change is possible — through accountability, honesty, and a commitment to building a better Iowa for everyone.
KCJJ News Assault Charge Dec '22
This article reports on one of the cases that led to my conviction and current status on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. At the time of the incident, I believed the interaction was consensual — but I now fully recognize it was not seen that way, and it caused harm. Like many who go through the justice system, I’ve also learned that charges can sometimes be presented or stacked in ways that sound worse on paper than the full reality — but I take responsibility for my actions, and I include this article here for full transparency. I want voters to have access to public records and media reports, even if they don’t always tell the whole story.
KCRG Indecent Exposure Charge
This article reports on another case that contributed to my conviction and current listing on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. As with many legal situations, some details in media reports can sound more severe than the full context, and the justice system often adds or elevates charges in ways that may not reflect every nuance of what happened. That said, I take full responsibility for my actions, and I’m including this article here to be transparent. Voters deserve the opportunity to view public records and media coverage — even when it’s difficult — and to judge my candidacy with eyes wide open.
