DES MOINES, IOWA (December 20, 2019) — Governor Kim Reynolds named 30 people to the Iowa 2020 Census Complete Count Committee today. The committee, which will be chaired by Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg and vice-chaired by Secretary of State Paul Pate, is charged with promoting participation in the 2020 Census.

“Iowans have a long history of doing their civic duty and participating in the Census,” said Gov Reynolds. “An accurate count of the population is important for redistricting and the allocation of billions of dollars in federal funds. We appreciate the strong interest in this committee and hope their work will help Iowa be first in the nation in 2020 Census participation.”

“We’re grateful for this diverse group of Iowans who volunteered to serve on the Census Complete Count Committee,” said Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg. “Our top priority will be to educate and raise awareness about the Census as well as share best practices and learn what Iowa communities and organizations can do to help spread the word of the importance of participating in the census.”
