Iowans need what Reynolds has delivered

Every time I think it can’t get worse, I’m mistaken. Amid a recession, President Joe Biden and Democrats decided to raise taxes and double the size of the IRS. The Inflation Reduction Act they’ve signed won’t curb inflation. It’s a climate change bill that will recklessly spend our taxpayer dollars and increase financial burdens on hardworking Americans.
This shows just how out of touch Democrat leaders are with the people. We’re changing our standards of living to make ends meet while they go on a $740 billion spending spree. We need Republican leadership.
Look at all Gov. Kim Reynolds has done. She cut our income tax to a flat and fair rate, eliminated taxes on retirement income, signed biofuels bills to reduce prices at the pump, created record jobs and led Iowa through the pandemic on top. Reynolds sees the needs of Iowans and fights for them. That’s what we need from our leadership.
