The Governor's 2021 Priorities

Ensuring Iowa's Economic Prosperity

Iowa's success has always been about turning obstacles into opportunities and overcoming adversity together. We must ensure that our future prosperity is widespread and reaches all people and all parts of Iowa.

Putting Students First

A strong public school system is imperative, and school choice has the potential to raise the quality for all schools. Every child deserves a quality education, regardless of income, and no matter their zip code.

Creating Universal Broadband Access for Iowans

High-speed internet is as vital to our communities as running water and electricity. But small steps to improve access will not bring big change. Every part of Iowa must have broadband by 2025.

Gov. Reynolds speaking in front of the capitol building with a large group of people behind her.

Ensuring Strong, Safe Communities

Iowans have the unique ability to come together and resolve tough issues that could otherwise divide us. We are more alike than we are different, and together we can create positive, productive change.

Improving Access to Quality Health Care

Every Iowan deserves to have access to high quality health care when and where they need it. Whether you’re dealing with the trauma of an accident or the joy of childbirth, it’s not just the quality of the team that matters – it’s the proximity.

Reinvigorating the Iowa Agriculture Economy

Farming is more than a job. It’s a way of life we value, and we’ll do everything to protect it for our families and future generations.
