“I was sorry to hear about Greg Forristall’s passing today,” Branstad said. “Greg bravely fought cancer for months while going above and beyond to fulfill his legislative duties and serve his constituents in western Iowa. He was an outstanding legislator and will be greatly missed. Carol and the Forristall family are in our thoughts and prayers.”
“Greg was a passionate legislator who served as Vice Chair of the House Education Committee and also served on the House Labor Committee,” said Reynolds. “For 11 years, he fought hard for children’s education, job growth and protecting Iowa’s small businesses. Kevin and I want to extend our prayers to Carol and the Forristall family during this difficult time.”
Forristall represented House District 22, which includes parts of Pottawattamie County. He was a Republican.
A date for a special election for House District 22 will be announced at a later date.
