The Iowa House Republicans have appointed Pat Grassley (R – New Hartford) as the new House Speaker.
Earlier this month, Speaker Linda Upmeyer (R-Clear Lake) announced she would not seek reelection to the Iowa House of Representatives in 2020 and would step down as Speaker of the House.
The 53-member group selected Grassley, who has served in the Iowa House since 2007, last Monday morning. Grassley will take over for Upmeyer as Speaker in 2020. Grassley has also served as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
