Governor Kim Reynolds hasn’t made an official announcement about a campaign in 2026, but she sounds like a candidate for re-election.
Reynolds, who was elected in 2010 as Governor Terry Branstad’s running mate, became governor in mid-2017 when Branstad resigned. She’s been elected to two terms.
On Monday, Republican Brad Sherman, a Williamsburg pastor, announced he plans to run against Reynolds in a GOP Primary. During a news conference Tuesday, Reynolds was asked about Sherman.
Sherman served in the Iowa House in 2023 and 2024. He endorsed President Trump before the 2024 Iowa Caucuses, while Reynolds endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Reynolds says she has a good working relationship with Trump – and while she’d love Trump’s endorsement in 2026, she says she will run on her own record as governor.
