Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to the death of Iowa House Representative John Landon: 

"I’m heartbroken over the passing of my friend, John Landon. 

“He treated every person he met with respect and kindness, compassion and a friendly smile. Despite battling a debilitating sickness this past session, he fought with grace, humility and political courage. 

“John was a hard worker, dedicated public servant, and committed conservative, for sure. But his greatest accomplishments were that of a loving husband and proud father. 

“My wife Vicki and I extend our deepest condolences to the Landon family and will continue to lift them up in prayer.”
