Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says she has just started thinking about personnel changes in state government and the policy agenda she’ll ask her fellow Republican lawmakers to pass in 2019.

Reynolds became governor in May of 2017 to fill out the remainder of Terry Branstad’s term — the first woman to be chief executive of Iowa government. Last week, she became the first woman ever ELECTED governor of Iowa and Reynolds says shattering that glass ceiling gives girls in Iowa a new perspective.

Reynolds says she’s evaluating the state’s finances, aiming to carve out a reduction in the state’s corporate income tax rate — perhaps eliminating some income tax CREDITS in the process.
