Today, Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver appointed Senator Ken Rozenboom to chair the Iowa Senate State Government Committee. The position became open when Governor Reynolds selected former Senator Chris Cournoyer to be Lieutenant Governor. Rozenboom is President Pro-Tempore of the Iowa Senate. He was first elected to the Iowa Senate in 2012 and he represents Jasper County and portions of Marion and Mahaska counties.Â
Whitver also reassigned Senator Kerry Gruenhagen from the Agriculture Committee to the Ways and Means Committee to fill the vacancy created by Cournoyer’s appointment. He also appointed Senator Kevin Alons as Vice Chair of the Technology Committee.
