DES MOINES, IOWA (September 30, 2019) — Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement today after Iowa House Speaker Linda Upmeyer announced that she is stepping down from her leadership role: 

“Speaker Linda Upmeyer is a dear friend as well as a talented and tenacious legislator. Together, we tackled some of the most important issues facing the state. We passed the largest tax-cut in Iowa history, secured historic investments for preK-12 education, implemented comprehensive mental-health reform, and fought to protect the lives of the unborn. Linda will be remembered as a remarkable public servant who helped move Iowa in a better direction.”
