Priorities for the RLGA Executive Committee include growing jobs, improving education, supporting economic development and improving tourism.
“I look forward to using my position on the RLGA’s Executive Committee to share the positive initiatives we’re spearheading in Iowa,” said Reynolds. “In using our best practices, other states will learn from Iowa’s successes in job creation and education reform. In the same regard, I look forward to learning from other states as we apply additional meaningful economic development measures in Iowa moving forward. The states are leading the new reform efforts, and moving this country forward as a whole.”

The RLGA is the only national organization committed to raising money and assisting Republicans in their campaigns for Lieutenant Governor, an office that has served as a springboard to elected positions such as Governor, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, or appointments to the President’s Cabinet. The RLGA currently claims 30 of the 45 Lieutenant Governor offices nationwide, a record number for the organization. Republicans currently hold 15 of the 19 independently-elected positions and 15 of the 26 team-elected/appointed seats.
