Brenda Brammer-Smith ran for office in 2024 as a Republican in Iowa House District 24. https://www.osceolaiowa.com/news/local/2024/04/18/two-local-women-seek-iowa-house-district-24/

On May 21, 2024, a six minute video by the Iowa Gun Owners association was posted comparing Brammer-Smith to her opponent on Facebook. In the video, the Iowa Gun Owners Association accused Brammer-Smith of running for office for a single issue of AEA educational funding, and being left of center on multiple issues.

Brammer-Smith received criticism for how she ran her campaign from Republican operatives and her opponent who pointed to and agreed with the assessment of the Iowa Gun Owners (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/L32ZyABbbSXF5S7B/?mibextid=WC7FNe) that Brammer-Smith’s campaign was running left of center and used evidence of her social media, campaign website and videos for the accusations.

Brammer-Smith endorsed a Democrat running for supervisor in Decatur County Iowa and received criticism for that as well which she defended in another video.
