Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Janice Weiner has issued the following statement in response to Gov. Reynolds’ appointment of Sen. Chris Cournoyer as Iowa’s new Lieutenant Governor.
“I would like to offer my congratulations to Chris Cournoyer on being named Iowa’s new Lieutenant Governor,” Sen. Weiner (D-Iowa City) said. “I wish her the best in this new role and hope she will look for opportunities to work cooperatively with her former colleagues in the Senate, regardless of party.”
“Iowans deserve a government that works for their betterment. Senate Democrats stand ready to work with the new Lieutenant Governor, should she be asked to serve a role in the legislative process,” Weiner continued. “On behalf of Iowa families, our commitment to bettering our schools and easing pocketbook burdens is resolute. I encourage the Reynolds Administration, and our new Lieutenant Governor, to join the effort of creating a freer, more prosperous Iowa for all.”
