Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Janice Weiner has issued the following statement regarding Gov. Kim Reynolds’ announcement that she will not seek re-election in 2026.
“After 10 years under Gov. Reynolds, the state faces budget deficits, a runaway private school voucher program, an unemployment system that leaves workers hung out to dry, contracting GDP, and a history of culture wars pushing Iowans away.”
“Iowans deserve leadership that prioritizes their needs and concerns, will rebuild the damage wrought by this administration, and truly gives working Iowans a better deal,” Sen. Janice Weiner (D-Iowa City) said.
