Gov. Kim Reynolds

43rd governor of Iowa. 5th generation Iowan. Former county treasurer, state senator & lt. governor. Unleashing opportunities!

It’s no surprise Iowa is one of the three states that has fully recovered in both reading and math since the pandemic.

We prioritized students by reopening schools for in-person learning in August 2020 and passing laws to ensure evidence-based instruction in reading and math.

Iowa is proof that when you focus on students, results follow.

[John Bailey @John_Bailey]

Education stagnation: Only 3 states have fully bounced back in both math and reading since the pandemic: Iowa, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

Just 6 of 23 states beat 2019 math levels, and only 4 of 20 exceeded 2019 ELA levels.

The recovery gap remains wide.
Grateful for this @ProfEmilyOster work and analysis over at State Test Score Results.

Very much enjoyed touring the @DMArtCenter with my good friend and US Rep @ZachNunn.

It’s amazing how much Director Kelly Baum, formerly with the @metmuseum, has elevated and expanded our collections in Iowa!

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

In January, I had the privilege of meeting these brave Iowans of the Operational Support Airlift Command on deployment in the Middle East.

Today, we celebrate the successful completion of their mission and give thanks to God for their safe return!

Iowa wins “Most American State” for consecutive years 🇺🇸

This is how we take the fight to cancer in Iowa: not only by increasing radon testing and mitigation, but also by investing in the workforce needed to #CombatCancer.

Thank you to Marion County Public Health for leading this effort through #HealthyHometowns!

The 2026 Patriot Games are underway and Iowans are cheering on our two outstanding athletes, Gabriel Van Sickle and Milla Wiechert! Congrats on a strong first day of competition and good luck tomorrow!

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

The summer of America's 250th isn't over yet. The 2026 Patriot Games are HERE. 🔥 America's best young athletes are coming together to compete, represent their home states, and show what American strength is all about.

STARTING TODAY! DON'T MISS IT 🇺🇸🏆

[MLB @MLB]

"Is this heaven?"

"No, it's Iowa!"

MLB at Field of Dreams returns one week from tonight!

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Iowans are in good hands with this confirmation.

For over 40 years, Glen Smith has equipped farmers, landowners, and small businesses with the tools they need to succeed, in addition to operating his own family farm.

I can't think of anyone with better firsthand experience to support the development of rural communities across the nation.

[FCA @fcagov]

We’re proud to announce the Senate confirmation of Glen R. Smith to serve as under secretary for rural development @USDA.

Glen served the Farm Credit Administration with distinction as board chairman & CEO and as a board member since 2017. His steady leadership strengthened the safety and soundness of the Farm Credit System while keeping a sharp focus on the credit needs of farmers, ranchers, and rural communities across America.

As a fifth-generation Iowa farmer and agribusiness leader, Glen brought real-world experience and a deep commitment to rural America to everything he did @FCAgov.

Congratulations, Glen! We’re confident you’ll bring the same dedication and insight to @USDArd.

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

@CSInstituteIA has it right: “Iowa is not standing on a fiscal cliff. It is drawing down reserves intentionally accumulated during years of budget surpluses while allowing taxpayers to keep more of what they earned.”

[The Gazette @gazettedotcom]

Opinion: Iowa’s budget outlook is not a fiscal cliff https://t.co/y1yYuNVxNo

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

This Purple Heart Day, we lift up in prayer all Iowans who have been wounded or killed in the defense of our nation, together with their families.

May these heroes' sacrifices inspire a greater patriotism here at home.

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

I’m proud that Republicans kept our promise to Iowans with this year’s property tax reform and created another $4.2B in tax savings over the next six years.

@CSInstituteIA’s new report confirms that we’re not only delivering for our state but also leading the nation in meaningful tax relief for working families.

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Today, I helped celebrate the reopening of the @HooverPresLib in West Branch, where visitors can experience President Hoover’s legacy of leadership and service like never before.

The newest presidential library experience in the nation, it includes cutting-edge exhibits and interactive technology that invite visitors not simply to observe history but to engage with it.

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Five years ago, Iowa had only two public charter schools and ranked last in the nation for charter school legislation.

Today, we're in the top 10 and have approved nearly 20 public charter schools, with more on the way.

It's a truly remarkable turnaround. And that's what happens when you give parents educational freedom.

Proud to partner with @ehdomenech and @PermitCouncil to streamline critical infrastructure projects in Iowa!

This is how we get America building again: with coordination and collaboration across government and a refusal to let red tape block our way.

[Permitting Council @PermitCouncil]

Today the Permitting Council signed its newest MOU with @IAGovernor Kim Reynolds, making Iowa the 8th state to opt in to the FAST-41 process to coordinate permitting and advance critical infrastructure projects. https://t.co/Ucu1d5XYQ7

Today, I joined @EDSecMcMahon and @Sonderling47 in Ft. Dodge as they announced the approval of America’s first Workforce Pell program: @IowaCentral’s EMT training course!

In just 8-15 weeks, candidates can learn skills, get hired, and continue learning on the job, with little or no student debt. It’s faster, better, and more practical—and it’s what Iowa’s workforce needs now.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

It’s a big day for Iowa students!

We’re in the Hawkeye State to approve @IowaCentral’s Workforce Pell application – the first in the nation!

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Grateful for the opportunity to tour Great Oaks High School & Career Center in Des Moines with @Sonderling47!

Iowa is leading the nation in educational freedom and workforce development, and schools like Great Oaks are at the cutting edge of both.

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Happy birthday to the @USCG! So grateful for all Iowans who #protectdefendsave!
