Governor Kim Reynolds launched her highly anticipated 'Legacy Tour' on March 12, 2026, at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center in Cedar Rapids, kicking off a series of six statewide stops.

Addressing more than 100 supporters, Reynolds voiced appreciation for the chance to lead Iowa, reaffirming her dedication to the state’s ongoing progress.

She emphasized cooperation with the Republican-led Legislature as crucial to recent legislative accomplishments.

U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson joined the event following a welcome ceremony for returning Iowa Army National Guard soldiers, lauding Reynolds’ leadership and pledging to continue championing Iowa’s priorities in Congress.

Republican Party of Iowa Chair Jeff Kaufmann also praised Reynolds for her steadfast focus on national security, immigration, and economic growth.

Outside, demonstrators voiced concerns over environmental policies and LGBTQ+ rights, with local activist Patricia Bowen calling for more inclusive governance.

Reynolds urged citizens to stay engaged as her tour heads to Davenport in April and culminates in Sioux City in September, ahead of the November general election.
