Iowa GOP: Culver Campaign Needs Desperate Distraction 

DES MOINES – Republican Party of Iowa Executive Director Jim Anderson today commented on Chet Culver’s attempt to distract from his own dismal record as Governor.

“The Culver campaign’s attempt to pass thank-you notes off as scandal is a desperate distraction from Culver’s own failures as Governor,” Anderson said. “Just today, media reports confirmed what Republicans forecasted last year: Governor Culver’s budget mismanagement raised Iowans’ property taxes by $136 million.  

“Iowans don’t want to hear childish attacks from their governor. They want to hear how this state can get back on track, and Terry Branstad is the only candidate providing those much-needed solutions.”
