Bob Vander Plaats is currently a candidate for the 2006 Republican nomination for Lt. Governor of Iowa. Originally from Sheldon, Iowa, he now resides in Sioux City with his wife Darla and their four children.
Vander Plaats attended Northwestern College of Iowa on a basketball scholarship, and later earned Master's and Specialist's Degrees in the area of Educational Leadership from Drake University. He ran for the gubernatorial nomination in 2002, finishing third in a three-way race that was won by Doug Gross.
After campaigning for several years and raising $459,000 in a bid for the office in 2006, Vander Plaats is now reported to be bowing out of the race to run as Congressman Jim Nussle's running mate.
