America Applauds Reynolds’ SOTU Response

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, RGA Vice Chair and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds delivered the GOP response to President Biden’s State of the Union address, and today Americans woke up knowing it’s Republican state leadership that can get our country back on track. Reynolds tackled the topics at the top of Americans’ minds: rising costs of goods and services, parents being shut out of their child’s education, skyrocketing crime, and international crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine. Reynolds offered real, tangible solutions and a promise for a brighter tomorrow under the leadership of Republican governors and legislators.

From Fox News’ Martha McCallum: “She came across very well. I’ll say one thing, when it came to education, I think she probably caught the ears of a lot of those moms, the COVID moms we talk about. She said exactly what they wanted to hear and we didn’t hear that from the President.”
