DES MOINES – Today, Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement on the resignation of former Director Jerry Foxhoven, who is now suing the state of Iowa:

“As I have consistently shared with Iowans, many factors went into my decision to ask for Jerry Foxhoven’s resignation. Foxhoven never raised concerns with me or my staff about the salary agreements in question, and he never asked my staff for a legal opinion or said he would be reaching out to the Attorney General’s office for one. I would never ask anyone to do something they thought was illegal. My focus remains on the many Iowans that DHS serves, and I am committed to selecting a new director who will take this agency to the next level.”

Foxhoven will pursue a wrongful termination lawsuit, reportedly, after claiming officials with the Reynolds administration asked him to do something he felt was illegal.
