“Governor Kim Reynolds has been a dedicated tax cutter and lean budgeter since taking office in 2017. She has restrained spending growth, which has generated large surpluses and budget reserves, while allowing for major individual and business tax reforms. Iowa residents will enjoy simpler and lower income taxes and businesses will be more competitive. This, combined with her abolition of the state’s inheritance tax has earned her the #1 spot on this year’s report card.” – Office of the Governor of Iowa Kim Reynolds, October 12, 2022

Pritzker of Illinois, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Kate Brown of Oregon, Gavin Newsom of California, and Jay Inslee of Washington.” – The Cato Institute, October 12, 2022

“When Governor Reynolds took office, Iowa had the 6th highest income-tax rate in the nation at almost 9 percent. Now, after three historic tax reform packages, the most recent in March of this year, Iowa is set to be fourth lowest at 3.9 percent. Governor Reynolds’ tax reform law eliminates taxes on retirement income, starting in 2023 and reforms Iowa’s corporate tax rate. Governor Reynolds signed the tax bill on March 1 which will save Iowa taxpayers $1.9 billion a year, and couple that with all the tax cuts she’s signed into law as Governor, a total savings of nearly $3 billion per year.” – Office of the Governor of Iowa Kim Reynolds, October 12, 2022
