Letter: Question the governor

Letter writer Tom Rendon calls Iowans to out Gov. Kim Reynolds on her lack of effective COVID-19 management and mitigation strategies. 

Tom Rendon

It is time to call the question on our governor. The debate is over. Her COVID-19 management has failed.

Nearly a month of positivity rates over 10 percent.

Daily cases over 600.

Iowa on the map as a national and global pandemic hot spot.

Our schools and communities in chaos from a crazy-quilt of regulations, forcing families to choose between health and education.

Enough is enough.

We need a leader who will do what leaders in states and countries did to mitigate the pandemic: get the virus under control, safely and slowly open, ramp up monitoring to assess progress. It isn’t complicated, and the debate is over.

Take action by sending Gov. Kim Reynolds a failing report card on staysafeiowa.com. And in November, vote in new leadership in the legislature that will force the governor to do the right thing.
