Republican Congressman Steve King of Kiron also took the stage to offer a personal testimonial for Reynolds, recalling his first meeting with her a decade ago. “She’s a bright star for our party and a shining leader for our state,” Grassley said.Įrnst, during her remarks, said: “Iowa is the only state in the nation that has both a female senator and a female governor.” Both mentioned the glass ceiling Reynolds shattered when she became Iowa’s first female governor this spring.
Senators - Republicans Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst - are serving as state co-chairs of the governor’s 2018 campaign. “We don’t take our orders from obnoxious protesters.” “This party does not take our orders from the union bosses,” said Kaufmann. He said Reynolds “is going to hold solid” on the GOP’s recent legislative achievements, including the roll-back of union bargaining rights. Jeff Kaufmann, the chairman of the Iowa GOP, is neutral in the 2018 GOP Primary race featuring Reynolds and Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, but Kaufmann spoke at Reynolds’ fundraiser.
By this past January, the Reynolds campaign reported having already raised $1 million. She has been laying plans to seek a full, four-year term in 2018. Reynolds was sworn in as Iowa’s governor in late spring when Terry Branstad resigned as governor to become ambassador to China. We don’t want them to come in and reverse the good work that we’ve done, so it’s challenge. “Let’s keep this united team together because, my gosh, we want to build on the successes that we’ve seen this last legislative session and we want to keep Iowa moving forward. “As we all know as we travel the state, the liberals are unhinged and they are out for us and we need to double down and do all we can and if you keep fighting, I’ll keep fighting,” Reynolds said. It featured supportive remarks from Republican allies and a rousing speech from the governor herself.
