Lightweight Liberal Enters Iowa Gubernatorial Race

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association (RGA) issued the following statement in response to Democrat Rob Sand entering the Iowa gubernatorial race:

“Democrats’ media darling Rob Sand is just another extreme liberal, supporting guys playing in girls’ sports and opposing President Trump’s agenda. Sand would turn Iowa into Tim Walz’s Minnesota: higher taxes and radical liberal values,” said Republican Governors Association Communications Director Courtney Alexander. “Iowans want a governor who will protect their values and tax dollars, not one who needs his rich family to be named the ‘Influencer of Iowa Democrats’ by the New York Times.”

Snapshot of Rob Sand’s record:

  • Supports biological men playing in girls’ sports and using taxpayer dollars to pay for radical gender transition surgeries
  • Opposed Gov. Kim Reynolds using law enforcement to help secure the border in Texas
  • Failed to uncover $27 million in misallocated funds
  • Called President Trump a “Madman” and “Bigoted”
  • Promoted by Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, and Co-Chaired Joe Biden’s Iowa campaign
  • Defended AOC’s “Green New Deal”
