DES MOINES, IOWA (March 12, 2019) — Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement after the Senate voted to pass SF 237, reforming Iowa’s judicial nominating system:
“Today’s vote by the Iowa State Senate to reform our judicial nominating system is a step forward to creating a judicial-nominating process that better reflects our state and its people. While the current process was created with good intentions, it’s now filled with backroom politics that leaves the vast majority of Iowans in the dark. Our new system will allow the people of Iowa to have a greater voice in selecting judges while also keeping in place the best parts of our judicial selection process.”
