GOP Chairman Strawn Comments on Branstad LG Announcement

DES MOINES – Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn today congratulated Senator Kim Reynolds (R-Osceola), who was named today as Governor Terry Branstad’s selection for the Republican Lieutenant Governor nomination. The nomination of Sen. Reynolds will occur at Saturday’s 2010 Iowa GOP State Convention. 

“Kim is a great friend, a hard-working public servant and will make an incredible partner in helping Governor Branstad restore principled, conservative leadership to Iowa.  As both party chairman and a delegate to the state convention, I look forward to supporting Sen. Reynolds’ nomination and working with my fellow Republicans to ensure the Branstad-Reynolds ticket is victorious this November.”
