Iowans exercised their right to vote yesterday, electing Rob Sand as Iowa’s next governor. I spoke with him this morning to offer my congratulations and express my personal commitment to a strong transition.
Now that the election is over, it’s time to work together so Iowa remains the best state in the nation to live, work, and raise a family for generations to come. My team and I will do our part to ensure the incoming administration is ready for their first day in office. Iowans deserve nothing less.

Iowa believes in empowering every student and family with world-class educational options so they can choose the best place and path for their future.
The Education Freedom Federal Tax Credit complements existing statewide programs and will further expand access with taxpayer contributions that benefit K-12 students and families here in Iowa.
Today’s launch of the Iowa Scholarship Granting Organization application is the next step toward making this no-cost investment in Iowa students a reality.

I want to thank @AGIowa Brenna Bird and all the members of the Medicaid Fraud Elimination Task Force for their dedication to further strengthening Iowa’s Medicaid system. Their efforts will help make it one of the most accountable and secure in the nation.
While we work to protect Iowa taxpayers’ investment in these programs, we’re equally focused on ensuring that quality care and services are available for every eligible Iowan who relies on them. The recommendations put forth by the task force help advance these goals and will support the system’s long-term sustainability.

Iowa is proud to rank among the Top 10 states for personal and economic freedom, and I'm grateful for the @CatoInstitute's recognition.
We've empowered Iowans to keep more of their own money, improved government efficiency to deliver greater value to taxpayers, and expanded educational freedom so families can pursue the path best for them.
These efforts will continue to strengthen Iowa and position our state for even greater growth and opportunity in the years ahead.

"Republicans under Terry Branstad and Kim Reynolds rebuilt the reserves and made Iowa a place companies will bet on. This mill is another example of that record and of a party that still treats American workers and families as the point of the policy."

In a move that will provide predictable and stable markets for farmers, we are proposing 100% REALLOCATION for the additional 2025 Small Refinery Exemption volumes for the amount that exceeded estimates in the “Set 2” Rule. This proposal will strengthen the Renewable Fuel Standard program, open markets for farmers, and grow economic potential for rural communities. Administrator Zeldin just announced this breaking news in Iowa.
