Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to Deidre DeJear announcing her campaign for governor: 

"Iowa Democrats are signaling they are joined at the hip with their out-of-touch national Democrat counterparts," said Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann. "Iowans overwhelmingly support Voter ID, and if DeJear thinks the elimination of Voter ID will win Iowans over, she will be sadly mistaken yet again. No matter who Democrats select, none will compare to Governor Reynolds. Iowans believe in her because she got children back in the classroom, cut taxes, and proved she is the leader Iowa needed."
