DGA Statement on Iowa GOP Primary Results
DGA Executive Director Meghan Meehan-Draper released the following statement in response to Zach Lahn becoming the Republican nominee for governor in Iowa:
"Zach Lahn is a career political operative and Kansas carpetbagger who would continue all of Kim Reynolds' biggest failures. He only re-registered to vote in Iowa in 2024 in order to barely meet the residency requirements to run for governor. And when he's not flying on his personal plane to Kansas where he lives, he's running on an extreme partisan agenda that includes tariffs bankrupting farmers and opposing Medicaid expansion entirely. While Iowans want change from the same failed Kim Reynolds status quo, Lahn is out-of-touch, out-of-state, and would make all of Iowa's problems worse."
