We the people of Iowa, like Americans everywhere, are facing record inflation, record high prices for gasoline, energy, food, farm input costs and virtually everything else. Things are serious!
Who’s to blame? Who shut down oil drilling, fracking, and the Keystone XL pipeline, costing Americans dearly every time they fill up? None other than the Biden Administration together with its accomplices in the Democrat-led Congress who also passed trillions in excess spending, leading to record inflation!
These difficult times call for the type of leadership Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has always demonstrated. Hearing and addressing the concerns of Iowans has been Kim Reynolds’ strength as our governor.
While the Biden Administration's out-of-control spending policies are causing great harm to Iowa families and Americans nationwide, Governor Kim Reynolds has worked with the Legislature to protect hard working, taxpaying Iowans by lowering taxes three times over the last five years. That includes signing into law legislation that will lower Iowa’s state income taxes to a flat rate of 3.9 percent. This flat tax will help hardworking Iowans keep more of their hard-earned money.
The choice for Iowans is clear. Governor Kim Reynolds and Republicans are acting responsibly on behalf of the people of Iowa. Therefore, yes I will absolutely vote for Gov. Kim Reynolds. I’m recommending that every Iowan vote for her in November, thereby ensuring that Governor Reynolds will continue fighting for and benefiting Iowans!
