DES MOINES, IOWA (December 12, 2023) — Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Satanic Temple display in the Iowa Capitol Building:

“Like many Iowans, I find the Satanic Temple’s display in the Capitol absolutely objectionable. In a free society, the best response to objectionable speech is more speech, and I encourage all those of faith to join me today in praying over the Capitol and recognizing the nativity scene that will be on display — the true reason for the season.”
