DES MOINES –Today, Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds issued statements and offered condolences to the people of France in the wake of terrrorist attacks yesterday in Paris.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families at this very difficult time,” said Branstad.

Lt. Gov. Reynolds continued by saying, “Iowans, and Americans across the country are in mourning today.
