Gubernatorial candidate Julie Stauch issues a letter to all Iowans:This is not a typical press release. To my fellow Iowans and our neighbors across the country who are also sitting with the memories of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, I am here for you. I hope that, together, we can answer Iowans’ questions about what we will do to ensure their safety. Iowans depend on you.
