In response to tonight's Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement:

"Republicans have always supported healthy, robust debate of the issues that affect everyday Americans. That's what we saw tonight, with seven candidates from our immensely talented presidential field discussing solutions to the mess – from our raging dumpster fire of a border to our economy in the doldrums – that Joe Biden and Democrats have put us in over the last three years."
