(Sioux City, IA) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deidre DeJear says her Republican opponent’s legal push to revive a six-week abortion ban shows Governor Reynolds is determined to stand against the will of the vast majority of Iowans. During an appearance in Sioux City just before Reynolds made her announcement, DeJear denounced last week’s U-S Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe-V-Wade and said reproductive rights will be a centerpiece of her campaign. She also said in a written statement that instead of focusing on abortion restrictions, it’s time for a governor who instead will address pressing issues like education, healthcare, housing, and the workforce shortage.
