Reynolds has not been good for Iowa

Althea Cole's manifesto singing the praises of Kim Reynolds was a lot like watching a Trump cabinet meeting as they go around the room telling him how wonderful he is and wear a fake smile waiting for his approval. Gov. Reynolds has done her best to make her administration truly partisan, cruel and mean spirited.

She shut down the state during COVID and allowed packinghouses to threaten workers with termination when they were scared to show up to work as they were some of the most affected early in the pandemic. She has decimated our public schools using tax dollars for religious private schools. Two-thirds of Iowans believe abortion should be legal yet she goes with the party line and endangers all pregnant women with the 6-week limit. The governor supported reducing teachers ability to negotiate their contracts and made it harder to vote in our elections. She has supported using eminent domain for pipelines and making it legal for minors to work after hours and on dangerous processes.

Kim Reynolds has not been good for Iowa and frankly, I think your Big Kim Energy is just BDE — and not in a good way.
