Reynolds’ Backed Candidates Defeat Handful Of House GOP Members

Des Moines, Iowa — Governor Kim Reynolds endorsed a handful of GOP Primary candidates for Iowa House seats. All were running against House Republicans who opposed her state scholarships for 10-thousand students and the governor’s picks won on Tuesday.

Reynolds helped defeat the Republican chairman of the House Education Committee and the Republican who led House debate for her E-15 bill and tax cut plan. Reynolds says her party is unified and ready for the General Election.

It appears none of the five GOP candidates running for a House seat in the Newton area reached the 35 percent mark. That is the threshold required to win the party’s nomination. That means a nominating convention will be held to select the GOP candidate for the General Election.
