Des Moines, Iowa — Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says while things are bumpy right now, Reynolds says she appreciates President Trump’s moves to address the government’s 36-trillion-dollar debt.
Reynolds has asked state agency leaders to come up with plans for moving all or part of a federal agency to Iowa.
Reynolds made her comments Tuesday during a “Free Enterprise Summit” hosted by a think tank called the Common Sense Institute. The organization gave Reynolds its first “Trailblazer” award. Former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey also spoke at the event, telling the crowd the Trump Administration is off to a fast start on cutting regulations and securing the border. However, Ducey — the former CEO of Cold Stone Creamery — addressed dips in the stock market after Trump’s tariff announcements.
Ducey served two terms as Arizona’s governor, leaving office in early 2023.
