Kim Reynolds signed a bunch of bills last week that hurt Iowa children – and then told press it was " an extremely uncomfortable position for [her] to be in [[link removed]] " and that " it’s not easy for [her] either. [[link removed]] "

Spare us the crocodile tears, Kim.

📝 NOTE FROM CHAIR RITA HART 📝
It's a busy week for Iowa Democrats! We're kicking off the week with a VAN Street Team training [[link removed]] tonight, led by our Vice Chair Gregory Christensen.

A special thank-you to our friends at Potluck Insurgency for a successful event last week! We're so grateful for your help as we get the ball rolling on our plans to invest in better data, strengthen county parties, and hold Republicans accountable.

Our leaders in the Iowa House and Senate are keeping up the fight for a better life for all Iowans while Iowa Republicans try to divide and distract us.

🖥️ AT THE IDP OFFICE 🖥️

We've got some new faces in the office now – meet Zach and Kevin!

Zachary Meunier (Senior Adviser) moved to Iowa in 2017 to manage Dave Loebsack's final run for Congress. He was the manager of now-Chair Hart's 2020 Congressional campaign and later led Rob Sand's successful 2022 re-election bid. He is the father of eight-month-old son Jack.

Kevin Sobkoviak (Finance Director) is a proud University of Dayton alum with experience working on several Governor and Senate campaigns, including Fmr. Senator Evan Bayh’s 2016 campaign and Ben Salango’s 2020 run for governor in West Virginia. Kevin is a sports enthusiast who is a fan of the Chicago Cubs, Bulls and Bears.
