Governor Kim Reynolds will unveil her 2024 legislative priorities during tonight’s “Condition of the State” address.
“I’ll share some ideas that I think will continue our momentum and success,” Reynolds said Monday morning, “continue to challenge the status quo and continue to empower Iowans.”
Reynolds made those comments as she spoke at a Republican fundraiser in Des Moines a couple of hours before the 2024 legislature convened. This is the 8th year Republicans will control the legislative and executive branches of state government.
“We’re not just about talk,” Reynolds said. “We’re about doing things and making a difference.”
Reynolds, though, joked that the House chamber where she’ll speak tonight may not be packed. “Might not be anybody there. I don’t know. It sounds like we’re finally going to get winter in the state of Iowa,” Reynolds said, drawing chuckles from the audience. “We’re been pretty lucky so far.”
Tonight’s address is scheduled to start at six o’clock.
