Politics Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds Announces She Will Not Seek Third Term 2025-04-13 In a surprise announcement, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said she will not seek a third term in office. Reynolds, a Republican, has held the position since 2017, when former Gov. Terry Branstad was appointed U.S. ambassador to China. She was elected to full terms in 2018 and again in 2022. Reynolds cited her family's support and her husband's cancer diagnosis as reasons for her decision. Her announcement sets up next year's election for governor in Iowa as the first without an incumbent in nearly two decades. Reynolds has been a strong conservative leader, advancing policies on school choice, transgender sports participation, and abortion restrictions. Her decision has been praised by Iowa's Republican leaders, but Democrats say voters are ready to hold the party accountable for the state's direction. Education Abductions of Foreign Students Undermine America's Global Image 2025-04-13 David Hamod, president and CEO of the National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce, expresses concern over the recent abductions of college students by masked and hooded individuals, apparently U.S. government officials. Hamod argues that these actions undermine America's commitment to the rule of law and its global image, and could have a chilling effect on international student enrollment, similar to the aftermath of 9/11. He cites data showing the financial losses the U.S. experienced due to restrictive visa policies targeting the Arab world, which contributed to a drop in Arab and Muslim visitors, including students. Hamod warns that these abductions play into the hands of America's detractors and benefit China, whose partnerships in the Middle East and North Africa region are growing. He urges U.S. policymakers to consider the broader implications of these actions on the country's economy and global influence. |
