There probably is not another animal on Earth, and not many people on Earth, that would do things like that.

Former governors
We are working together to collaborate across state agencies.
It’s better not to wait until a storm is imminently coming our way.
The first thing that we can all do to get prepared is to just make a plan.
While it is beautiful outside today, we know that now is the time for us to begin preparing.
What I experienced for my last legislative session was legislators and leaders in both the House and Senate remained committed to putting Iowans first and getting things done and completed, that we promised Iowans we would.
Sometimes it’s kind of irrelevant what the governor wants.
I’m really proud of the last session.
I took an oath to the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state, and I’m going to uphold that oath.
I don’t go into this looking at your chromosomes when I’m making an appointment.
We reviewed everything these nominees have written, argued, or decided, and we spent hours in interviews, discussing temperament, respect for the rule of law, judicial philosophy, and many other important questions.
I vow to veto ANY attempt to lower the threshold or raise the rate of this tax as long as I’m governor.
The Trump administration’s cuts to Medicaid will make rural maternity care harder to sustain and I applaud the work by the (Oregon Health Authority) to maximize state dollars to support Oregon providers.
I fought for these funds in my budget to stabilize services in Oregon because rural communities deserve reliable, high quality maternity care close to home.
Investing in education in correctional facilities is a common-sense strategy.
This bill makes it clear that when you plug into Oklahoma’s world‑class energy grid, you come to the table as a partner and do your part to cover the costs.
If these tactics continue, I will seriously consider calling a special session to outlaw deceptive AI-generated political content in Oklahoma elections.
Naming the Prothonotary Warbler as our state migratory bird represents the importance of preserving our wetlands and ensuring future generations can experience places like Beidler Forest.
I am disappointed that day has not yet come.
Together, these reforms reflect a simple principle: Iowa will stand with victims, support law enforcement, and prioritize public safety.
These criminals cycle through the justice system with little accountability and put innocent Iowans at risk.
For too long, a small number of repeat offenders have been responsible for a disproportionate share of crime in our communities.
