MEMORANDUM
TO:
Reporters and Editors
FR:
Matthew N. Strawn, Chairman, Republican Party of Iowa
RE:
Redistricting Plan
DA:
Thursday, April 15, 2011
“The map passed today lays the groundwork
for a Republican
majority in both the Iowa House and Senate for the next decade as we
work toward a permanent conservative governing majority in Iowa.
Ultimately,
it is not arbitrary geographic lines, but rather a consistent message
of policies focused on limited government, personal responsibility and
individual freedom that will be central to the continued Republican
resurgence in Iowa.
“With respect to the congressional
districts, I am confident
that more Iowans will be represented in Congress by a Republican under
this map than are today. Congressman Boswell’s
district
becomes more Republican and conservative at a time when his voting
record is increasingly liberal. I am also confident that Iowa
Republicans will continue building on the broad gains seen in Eastern
Iowa over the last two years and will be on offense in waging
aggressive challenges in those two districts.”
