GOP Gov. Reynolds Says ‘Family Comes First’ in Decision Not to Seek Re-Election

Iowa Republican Governor Kim Reynolds stated on Friday that she will not seek re-election.

Over the weekend, Reynolds revealed her initial intention to run for a third term as governor, but said she then began to contemplate whether she could dedicate herself fully to the role if elected until early 2031.

Reynolds, who will turn 66 in early August, said she has been glad to prioritize her work as governor, but after her current term expires in 2027, she will return home. Reynolds’ seat will come up for election in 2026.

Reynolds said she is leaving the office after years of her family supporting her, saying now that it’s time for me to be there for them.
