How to Contact Governor Reynolds

Republican Kim Reynolds has been the Governor of Iowa since 2017. She strongly embraces her working-class background and has led with a focus on economic growth and investment. She attended Iowa State University and graduated with an undergraduate degree in liberal studies. As far as her work as governor goes, she has taken strong stances against abortion and has signed multiple bills to ban or delay abortions - bills that were later struck down by the Iowa Supreme Court. She has also made significant efforts to amend the state constitution to no longer protect a women’s right to abortion and to defund Planned Parenthood.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Reynolds has made many controversial choices, starting with her refusal to pass a state-wide mask mandate. This led the mayor of Iowa city to use emergency powers to instate a mask mandate within city limits. In November 2020, she conceded and a state-wide mask mandate was enforced.

As the Governor of Iowa, Kim Reynolds is quite influential on policy and law in Iowa. As US states function as semi-sovereign republics, states have a significant amount of independence over their own governance.

Each state has its own Senate and can pass its own legislation, which governors have their own input on.

How Should You Contact Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds?

Unfortunately, Governor Reynolds does not have any options to schedule a meeting in person, which would be the most ideal way to make effective contact with her. In the absence of this option, the best way to contact her would likely be by phone or email. You could also supplement the email by submitting a hard copy to the Governor’s mailing address, although this may take longer. While social media is a great way to keep up with your representative, it’s not ideal for making contact, as it’s usually run by a team of social media managers.

  2. Set out clearly what the issue is. If you don’t already know, learn a little bit of background on the issue and the political context surrounding it. Figure out why your representative may be taking the stance they are.
  3. Know the action you wish your representative to take. Come in with an action plan. Know what the next steps are for your representative to take, and let them know explicitly that you want them to take this action.
  4. Formulate your argument using a professional tone. For email, make sure to include the appropriate formalities and to address your representative by their correct title. For email structure and other professional email writing tips, check out this helpful guide.
  5. Practice! For phone calls, you may want to create your own script so you manage to hit all of your talking points.
  6. Be confident! While your representative may hear from many people, he or she is there to represent you and take action on issues that affect your life.
