Transcript

I’m Kim Reynolds, governor of the great state of Iowa. I love this state and I’m so proud to serve its people. Iowa truly is a land of opportunity. It’s the birthplace of the computer, it’s a landmark of the financial services industry, and as so many of you already know, it’s filled with farmland that feeds and fuels the world. It’s also home to people who care for one another, who work hard, who love this country, and are truly grateful for the freedoms it provides. As I like to say, Iowa is one big small town, neighbor helping neighbor is in our DNA. From the sick farmer who can’t harvest his crops to the single mom who loses her job and is struggling to get back on her feet, the town, the community helps them get through it. But what happens when a storm rips through almost the entire state? When it’s not one farmer who lost his crop, but hundreds? When it’s not one neighbor who is without food, but thousands? That happened just two weeks ago. A storm called a derecho with hurricane force winds of up to 140 miles per hour, wiped out millions of acres of crops, left thousands without power. It destroyed homes, wrecked lives, and left devastation in its wake. It was the worst storm in our state’s history and Iowans did what you expect Iowans to do. They helped each other, they took care of each other, and they still are.

But someone else had our back, our president. When the winds had finished raging and the cleanup had only begun, he showed up. Now you might not know that because the national media didn’t report it, but the Trump administration was here in full force. The day after the storm, the president called to assure me that we have the full backing of the federal government and later that week, Vice President Pence came to Iowa to again assure us that the president and his administration were behind us. With the help of the Trump administration, we quickly received a major disaster declaration that will help Iowans get back on their feet. The president, he cut through the bureaucracy to do what needed to be done and to do it quickly.

But that’s not the first time President Trump showed Iowans that we can rely on him. In 2019, when 100 year floods breached nearly every levy and devastated communities large and small along the Missouri River in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri, the president approved our request for aid in record time, in just two days. Well this year, he did it in less than 24 hours. So whether it’s providing needed relief to farmers who were the target of China’s unfair trade practices, hammering out new free and fair trade deals, or fighting for workers and small businesses who were hit hard by COVID-19, we have a president and a vice president who get things done and because of President Trump and his leadership, our country is able to bounce back from setbacks and see opportunity grow and thrive.

This is an administration of action and outcomes. They are delivering every day on their promise to Make America Great Again, and that’s exactly why we need to re-elect President Donald J. Trump in November. Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.
