Rita Hart Releases Statement On Brenna Bird Chickening Out of Governor’s Race
Des Moines – Rita Hart released the following statement on Brenna Bird’s announcement that she will not be running for governor in 2026:
“Whatever office Brenna Bird is running for, she can’t hide from her past four years cozying up to the clique of insiders that have left our state 49th in economic growth and first in the rate of new cancers,” said Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart. “Instead of looking out for workers and consumers, she’s pursued the kind of partisan, political, and expensive vendettas you’d expect from Steve King’s former Chief of Staff. Pulling back from a run for governor won’t prevent voters from holding her accountable.”
