Progress Iowa executive director Matt Sinovic issued the following statement in response to Governor Reynolds’ Condition of the State Address:
“Tonight, the governor laid out her vision for Iowa, and once again, it’s clear she plans to side with wealthy corporations and the rich, while making life harder for Iowa’s working families. Under Reynolds’ leadership, Iowa’s students and teachers have been left to face growing challenges with fewer resources, children have been forced to go without the meals they need to thrive, and hateful legislation targeting already vulnerable communities has been passed. All with little support from the majority of Iowans.”
“Iowans deserve a leader who fights for families, not corporate donors and their profits. Gov. Reynolds’ priorities are out of touch with the values and needs of our state. We will continue to advocate for a government that invests in our communities and works for everyone–not just the privileged few.”
