I live in Iowa and am so glad that Gov Branstad is BACK!!! I feel so much more secure knowing that he is in control and is fixing the mess that the liberal dems left us in. I own a business in this state and am looking forward to the future in Iowa!

Great video it is so nice to have a Gov. that cares and loves our state !!! Thank you for all you do To Mrtobbr63 really the worst ? Did he mandate the highest tax increase in American history? 80 % of doctors want to stop practicing medicine because of this law . Not to mention taken over the auto and banking industry. If his job planed worked why are we still at 8 .2 unemployment ? Our President is the worst kind of politician not our Gov who has created jobs and lowered deficit
