Iowa Republicans Put Trump, Republican Party First

By supporting the GOP’s reckless tax bill, Iowa Republicans showed our state where their priorities lie.

Today, every single Republican member of the Iowa congressional delegation voted in favor of the GOP’s disaster of a tax bill. The final Republican tax bill provides even bigger tax breaks to the very wealthiest, at the expense of hardworking Iowa families.

Senators Grassley and Ernst along with Representatives Blum, Young, and King ignored the thousands of Iowans who called to beg their representatives to put their state ahead of their party.

Even Governor Reynolds joined the Trump Administration’s effort to lobby Congress to pass this dangerous plan despite its terrible impact on the people and small businesses of Iowa.

“This ridiculous tax scheme shows exactly why the majority of Iowans want Democratic representatives in Congress and 65% of voters aren’t ready to give Kim Reynolds another term,” said Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price. “Ernst, Grassley, Blum, Young, King, and Governor Reynolds have all put a partisan victory for Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s special interest backers ahead of Iowa families with this tax bill. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
