What Iowans Are Watching: IDP Chair Sets the Record Straight on Kim Reynolds’ Failed Legacy
DES MOINES – Ahead of Kim Reynolds’ legacy tour stop in Davenport on Thursday, IDP Chair Rita Hart set the record straight on the most unpopular governor in the country’s failed legacy. Chair Hart called Reynolds out for crushing Iowa’s economy, shortchanging public schools, and making it harder for Iowans to get health care. She outlined how Randy Feenstra, Adam Steen, Zach Lahn, Brad Sherman, and Eddie Andrews are all running to continue the failed status quo that puts powerful insiders first and working families last.
Here’s what Iowans are watching:
WHBF: IDP Chair Rita Hart calls out Kim Reynolds’ years of failing Iowans
- Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart responded to the governor’s tour. She says Reynolds will leave the state worse off than when she took office a decade ago.
- Chair Hart: Iowa is now last in economic growth, first in cancer growth. Our public schools are falling in the rankings and going underfunded. Life itself is more expensive, and healthcare, especially in rural areas, is harder to find.
- Hart adds she believes the way Reynolds handled Iowa’s privatized Medicaid program resulted in thousands of Iowans being denied crucial health care.
