(Radio Iowa) - Governor Kim Reynolds announced Friday in a social media post she will not seek reelection. The governor says the decision came after a lot of thought, prayer and conversations with her family.
The governor says she's ready to support her family through the next stage of life, especially her 11 grandchildren. Reynolds says she will not slow up in the final 21 months of her term.
The 65-year-old Reynolds became Governor in 2017 when Terry Branstad stepped down to become the Ambassador to China. She won a full term in 2018 and was reelected in 2022.
