At least three Iowa House Republicans are holding up a bill that would give the people of Iowa more say in how the state selects it Supreme Court justices. The Iowa Standard has learned Representatives Ann Meyer (R-Fort Dodge), David Maxwell (R-Gibson) and Gary Mohr (R-Bettendorf) have been reluctant to support the change.
Meyer said at a forum she prefers the current nonpartisan method of picking judges. Maxwell told an audience at a legislative forum the bill to change the judicial selection process didn’t have a future in the House. Mohr also said at a legislative forum that he’s not supporting the bill.
Changing the process is a top priority for Governor Kim Reynolds.
Iowans who want to contact their legislator and encourage them to support changing the nominating process can do so here.
