Like most Iowa parents, we want to focus on math and reading, not political agendas from either extreme. And like all Iowans, I want us to get back to having the best public schools in the country. As governor, I'll fight for Iowa's public schools because my kids are counting on them, too.

We talk a lot in Iowa about honoring our veterans. That’s the easy part. The harder part — and what matters most — is making sure they have the support they need when they need it. As Governor, you have my word: Iowa will stand behind every brave man or woman who serves our country — not just while they serve, but when they come home.

First press conference as Governor-Elect: ☑️ I’m thrilled to announce a tripartisan group of advisors who will work with me to help our administration do what we were elected to do: improve all Iowans’ lives. Abe, Mike, and Representative Lohse bring decades of experience and knowledge across industries including state government, advocacy, and public service. They also bring unique perspectives that will challenge us to work together – exactly how state government should work. I look forward to working with this tripartisan group of public servants to get to work for the people of Iowa on day one. You can read the full release here: bit.ly/4zeSaX0

Iowa’s governor-elect Rob Sand has a surprising résumé: before entering politics, he worked as a high-fashion model, walking runways in Milan and Paris for brands including Prada, Number (N)ine, and Giuliano Fujiwara. The 44-year-old Democrat modeled in the early 2000s to help pay for college, even appearing in Prada’s Spring 2003 menswear show. 📷 Getty

I'm hearing reports of the situation at the post office in Des Moines. DMPD has indicated that there were no life-threatening injuries. My thoughts are with the Iowans affected by this senseless act of violence. I will continue to monitor the situation & am thankful for the dedicated first responders who were able to respond quickly & ultimately save lives. desmoinesregister.com/story/…
