The Iowa Legislature is not in session, but work continues in the interim – a deadlocked decision from the Iowa Supreme Court, newly elected Senate Minority Leader, and most new 2023 laws are effective July 1.

Supreme Court Decides 3-3 Against Six-Week Abortion Ban

Since its introduction in 2018, a “fetal heartbeat” law has been under scrutiny. The law was passed and signed in 2018, but the Iowa courts blocked it from going into effect. In December 2022, a district court declined to reinstate the law, and Governor Reynolds appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. With the major decision overturning the federal precedent set by Roe v. Wade, Reynolds saw a path forward for the abortion restriction.

On Friday, June 16, the Iowa Supreme Court released their 3-3 decision, deadlocking on the issue and punting it back to the district court. Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Susan Christensen and Justices Edward Mansfield and Thomas Waterman favored affirming the district court’s order blocking the law; Justices Christopher McDonald, Matthew McDermott, and David May favored reversing the district court. Since there was no majority, their biting advisory opinions do not hold precedential value. Governor Reynolds and Republican leaders expressed their disappointment at the decision and vowed to continue pushing for anti-abortion legislation. A special session this summer is a possibility.

New Senate Minority Leader Elected

In early June, a major change of leadership occurred, when Senator Pam Jochum was elected by her caucus to lead the Senate Democrats, replacing former leader Senator Zach Wahls. Senator Jochum has served as an assistant minority leader and the ranking member of the Senate Ways and Means Committee. She was president of the Senate several years ago when the Democrats held the majority. In a statement, Senator Jochum said,

“I am honored to receive the unanimous support of my fellow Democratic senators during this critical moment for our caucus and the state of Iowa…As a united team, Senate Democrats will continue to fight for the principles we believe in on behalf of the people of Iowa. We’re fighting for strong working families and the rights and freedoms of all people. We’re fighting for high-quality public education and affordable, accessible healthcare in every community.”

The vote to elect a new leader was called Wednesday, June 7, where the 16 Democrats voted unanimously for Jochum. Several Democratic Senators criticized Senator Wahls’ decision to dismiss two longtime staffers the Friday prior to the vote. Senator Wahls was first elected to the Senate in 2018 and then elected to serve as Senate minority leader going into the 2021 session. The caucus staffers were immediately rehired upon the appointment of Leader Jochum.

New Director of Education

Governor Reynolds announced a change in leadership at the Department of Education, appointing McKenzie Snow, presently Deputy Secretary of Education in the Commonwealth of Virginia, to replace Chad Aldis as department director. Aldis, who was named director in March of this year, has resigned for family reasons. 

Snow’s appointment as Director of the Iowa Department of Education is effective Monday, June 26. Aldis will remain through June 30 to assist with the transition.

“While a leadership change at this time was unexpected, I respect why it’s necessary. I want to thank Director Aldis for his service, and I wish him and his family the very best,” Governor Reynolds stated.
