Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to new Iowa House and Senate leadership:

"Our Republican team is strong under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver and Speaker Pat Grassley. While working together with Governor Reynolds, Iowa's national profile is rising and our economy is thriving. Iowa Republicans have shown America the playbook for a brighter future.

"Congratulations to Sen. Amy Sinclair on becoming Senate President-select, Rep. Matt Windschitl on his re-election to House Majority Leader and the rest of the leadership teams. They are tremendous conservative voices to lead our state."
