(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Republican Party leaders celebrated “super majorities” in the legislature early this (Monday) morning during a fundraiser, calling it a mandate for the G-O-P’s policy agenda. House Speaker Pat Grassley of New Hartford will lead a 67 seat majority in the House. “You keep hearing, ‘Oh, Republicans are struggling in the suburbs all across the country. Republicans are struggling in certain areas,'” Grassley said. “Well, it feels so good for us to be winning in Dubuque like we did…knocking off a long-time Democratic incumbent. We represent Mason City for the first time in 20 years, so we continue to expand our map all across the state,” Grassley said. House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl says the election results show Iowans approve of Republican policies.

“Katie bar the door!” Windschitl said. “Here we come! The 91st General Assembly.” The crowd at the breakfast recorded a celebratory dance video that Iowa G-O-P chair Jeff Kaufmann said would be sent to President-elect Trump. “We want people to know that Iowa Republicans are fired up. We want people to know that Iowa Republicans like Donald Trump,” Kaufmann yelled as the tune YMCA started playig in the room.

Governor Reynolds was next at the microphone, promising Republicans would deliver a bold, conservative agenda in 2025. The Iowa Democratic Party held a private fundraiser Sunday night.
