DUBUQUE, Iowa (KCRG) - The Iowa legislature has passed many of the top Republican priorities of 2023. A supermajority in the Republican Senate and a majority in the House has helped Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds pass much of her agenda. 'Our state is on a new path,' the Governor said in a statement as the Legislature ended the 2023 session. Across the Mississippi River, in Illinois, the Democrats have a supermajority in the Senate and the House. They have advanced many parts of the Democratic governor's agenda with little support from members of the minority party, the Republicans.
