Tomorrow, Iowa Democrats will hold their annual Hall of Fame Dinner with special guest "Defund The Police" Mayor Keisha Bottoms. 

As Iowa Democrats showed their disdain for those who serve and protect our communities during this legislative session, it should be no surprise that they would want to follow in the footsteps of Mayor Bottoms. 

In June of 2020, Mayor Bottoms said the city of Atlanta has been defunding the police for years. She cited that the city of Atlanta has cut the city's corrections budget by 60 percent. 

"It's a shame Iowa Democrats are leaning into national Democrats' push for defunding the police," said Republican Party of Iowa Communications Director Kollin Crompton. "Iowans know what it's like to lose an officer in the line of duty, and this radical push to defund the police only adds to the danger officers already face."
