Des Moines, IA - State Senator Nate Boulton, Democratic candidate for governor, made the following statement in response to Gov. Reynolds appointing her father, Charles Strawn in district 5A, to the state judicial nominating panel.
“I love my dad, but Iowans can rest assured that as governor, I will be able to find a qualified individual among the other 3.1 million Iowans for every state board and commission position that must be filled, rather than appointing my own father,” said Boulton. “Judicial appointments are serious matters and should be free from any impression that a governor had undue influence in the process that puts final names up for appointment to serve as judges in our fair and impartial courts.”
