(GRINNELL) – Former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad today released the following statement upon learning of the passing of former speaker of the Iowa House, Bill Harbor:
“My thoughts and prayers are with Bill’s friends and family. Bill was a dedicated public servant who served as a state representative, speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives and later as chief clerk of the Iowa House of Representatives. He was a great mentor to young legislators like me. He was a conscientious and capable leader who will be missed. Iowa is a better place today because of his service.”

(URBANDALE) – Governor Branstad 2010 campaign manager Jeff Boeyink today released the following statement following the dismal report on I-JOBS released earlier today:
“These are short term construction jobs, not the long-term jobs Gov. Culver promised when he proposed I-Jobs. $1.7 billion for short term construction jobs is not a great return on investment for Iowa taxpayers. In fact, these short term jobs are costing Iowans over $240,000 a piece.
“Construction employment in Iowa is actually down 2,700 since the I-Jobs bill was passed and nearly 20,000 Iowans have been added to the rolls of the unemployed since this program began.
The Comeback Express campaign RV got a facelift this week!
The vehicle, a Winnebago Itasca (an Iowa company!), has logged tens of thousands of miles in traveling the great state of Iowa as part of Terry Branstad’s commitment to visit all 99 counties during this campaign.
The new look also has the addition of our great lieutenant governor nominee, Kim Reynolds! If you haven’t yet, please follow her on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/KimReynoldsIA.
(URBANDALE) – The Governor Branstad 2010 campaign today launched its newest ad, “Exactly Right.”
The ad, which will run statewide on network and cable, can be watched here.
In conjunction with the ad’s release, Branstad 2010 campaign manager Jeff Boeyink released the following statement:
“While the Culver campaign is trying to mislead and misdirect Iowans about Terry Branstad’s outstanding record of achievement, Governor Culver cannot hide from results of his failed leadership. Nowhere is that failed leadership more evident than in regards to the plight of Iowa’s unemployed and his inability to articulate a plan to stimulate Iowa’s economy and create new jobs.
“Governor Branstad took office at one of the most challenging times in our state’s history, facing an unemployment rate of 8.6%. Working with Iowans, Governor Branstad led Iowa out of that dark place, helped create nearly 300,000 jobs for Iowans, and left our state with an unemployment rate that was the lowest in the state’s history at that time.
“With news this week of another major Iowa employer laying off 1,000 hard working Iowans, it is… read more →
