(DES MOINES) - Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds today issued the following statement upon learning of Congressman Tom Latham's intention not to seek reelection in 2014 in Iowa's Third Congressional District:

"I want to thank Congressman Tom Latham for his service to the people of Iowa. For nearly twenty years, Tom has been a dedicated public servant for the citizens he represents. His voice of Iowa common sense and willingness to work across the aisle is a model for how good government should function."

Lt. Governor Reynolds added, "I was disappointed to hear Congressman Tom Latham had chosen not to seek reelection in 2014. As a business owner and a lifelong Iowan, Tom served as a tried and true voice for Iowans in Congress."
