“When we gaveled in this January, we made a promise to Iowans that we would deliver another fiscally sound budget, put the taxpayers first, and make Iowa communities safer,” said Speaker Pat Grassley (R-New Hartford). “Standing here today, I can say: mission accomplished. We knew property tax reform would be a tough slog, but we stayed at the table because Iowans expected results. In the end, we delivered historic relief to the tune of approximately $4 billion over six years. All session, House Republicans stayed dug into the issues and worked hard to keep our word to our constituents. I am incredibly proud of our caucus for the work they’ve done this session to represent the interests of all 99 counties.”
Majority Leader Bobby Kaufmann (R-Wilton) echoed these sentiments, noting the caucus’s commitment to individual property rights and public safety:
“This session, we didn’t tip-toe around the issues; we tackled them head-on,” Kaufmann said. “We promised historic property tax relief, and we delivered. We stood up for landowners and made it clear that eminent domain is not a shortcut for the elite. And we sent a message that in Iowa, career criminals are not welcome. Period. Once again, House Republicans remained a firewall between taxpayers and wasteful government spending. Our caucus stood strong for common sense, fiscal responsibility, and your individual freedoms. We are heading back home to our districts today with our heads held high, knowing we kept our word to our constituents.”
