Kim Reynolds says goodbye but one should be appreciative of what she accomplished. After taking over from Terry Branstad when Governor Branstad was appointed ambassador to China she moved Iowa in a new direction.
The Pandemic was where the governor shined as she along with others like Desantis, Kemp and Noem opened their state and schools when others were on lockdown. History should point out she was correct, and this had a positive impact on the Iowa economy as unemployment has since been below the national average and consistently in the upper half if not upper 20 percent.
She has worked on tax reform, reducing our tax rates which even exceeded Illinois top rates when she started with the long-term goal of eliminating income tax and in the process kept spending under control. She favored more parents’ choices in their children education and defended the most vulnerable, the unborn.
Reynolds is Iowa cool, stayed in the background and simply let her record speak for herself.
