DES MOINES -- Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement praising President Trump and Governor Reynolds for their swift and decisive response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

“Thanks to a strong partnership between President Trump and Governor Reynolds, an early and aggressive effort was made to provide Iowans with the resources needed to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. The Trump and Reynolds Administrations have consistently made data-driven decisions to safeguard the health and safety of all Americans -- and they will continue to do the same as we begin safely and responsibly reopening the economy and getting Iowans back to work.

“Throughout this pandemic, it has been a comfort knowing we have a friend in the White House, and a Governor who cares deeply about this state. Thank you President Trump and Governor Reynolds for keeping the safety of Iowans front and center in our unprecedented war against this Virus.”
