Republican Party of Iowa Co-Chair Linda Upmeyer released the following statement in response to Governor Kim Reynolds signing HF 2416 into law: 

"Republicans in the legislature and Gov. Reynolds are leading and standing up for Iowa's female athletes. This is inherently a fairness issue. Young girls should not be discouraged from participating, or succeeding, in athletics because competition is out of their ability to compete. Wokeness does not have a role in our schools or athletics."
