Iowa is a state of red flags

So, Gov. Kim Reynolds, you're going to use pandemic funds to brag about all Iowa has to offer? Really?

Are you also planning to tell businesses and individuals about Iowa's war on a woman's right to choose? Iowa's determination to make it harder to vote? Iowa's determination not to mandate a living wage for all those "great job opportunities" you brag about? Iowa is a state "led" by a governor who refused federal funds to help those in distress from the pandemic, refused a mask mandate and opened up earlier than the CDC - and common sense - recommended.

It seems that Iowa is indeed a "red state" - a state of red flags for anyone paying attention. And Kim, you can't figure out why people aren't flocking to a state determined to go back to the 1800's? Think about it.
