(Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board has found that Governor Kim Reynolds did not violate ethics laws by appearing in a public awareness campaign asking Iowans to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The Republican governor was one of several people with Iowa ties in the minute-long video — including former Governor Tom Vilsack. Democrat State Auditor Rob Sand claimed Reynolds’ appearance went against a state law against self-promotion in ads paid for by taxpayers. The state board found that the law makes an exception when a public health emergency is in place.
