Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley announced his selections of committee chairs earlier this week. We have previously told you about the Iowa State Education Association-backed Republicans in the Iowa House.

To recap, here are the Republicans in the Iowa House we know were backed by the teachers union:

Representative Gary Mohr – House District 93
Representative Brian Best – House District 11
Representative Mike Sexton – House District 7
Representative Jane Bloomingdale – House District 60
Representative Brian Lohse – House District 45
Representative Brent Siegrist – House District 19
Representative Megan Jones – House District 6

ISEA has been a vocal opponent of banning mask mandates in schools as well as school choice for Iowa parents. They also strongly opposed the bill protecting women’s sports and the bathroom bill.
