A national PAC and Iowa advocacy group are kicking off what they call the first-of-its-kind political fundraiser in Iowa to pressure Gov. Kim Reynolds into strengthening coronavirus mitigation efforts and preventing Iowa’s hospitals from overflowing with COVID-19 patients.
Although virus mitigation efforts in Iowa have “pulled us back from the brink, (Reynolds) is pulling back on those efforts and things are expected to get worse,” said Jeremy Dumkrieger, co-founder of Iowans for a Safe Return to School.
For example, the governor announced late Thursday she was lifting spectator restrictions on events such as high school sports, which had been limited to two per student-athlete.

Shouting “We want choices, hear our voices,” dozens of protesters marched in front of the South Orange-Maplewood schools administration building Saturday morning, calling for students and teachers to return to in-person instruction by the end of January amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The group, dubbed SOMA For Safe Return To School, started a petition that calls for in-person instruction five days a week for elementary and special education students by Jan. 19.
Kate Walker, a co-founder of the group, would like to see all grade levels return to in-person learning, but said younger students and those with special needs should be a priority.
