NEITHER IOWA’S REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR KIM REYNOLDS, NOR HER DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT DEIDRE DEJEAR HAD OPPOSITION IN THE PRIMARY.

REYNOLDS SAYS THE TAX CUTS SHE SIGNED INTO LAW AND THE E-15 EXPANSION PLAN SHE APPROVED LAST MONTH PUT IOWA IN A POSITION TO WITHSTAND HIGH INFLATION.

GOTO3 OC….MAKING :11
DEJEAR WILL SOON BE ANNOUNCING A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AS A RUNNING MATE.
SHE HAS BEEN ASKING FOR ADVICE FROM PEOPLE SHE MEETS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS WELL AS ELECTED OFFICIALS AND HER CAMPAIGN TEAM.
