The GOP has chosen the next House speaker...

DES MOINES — House Republicans have chosen Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer to serve as their next Speaker.

Upmeyer was elected to the position today. She is the first woman to hold the top leadership role in the Iowa House and follows in the footsteps of her late father, who served as House speaker in the 1980s.

Upmeyer says she looks forward to leading and promises to be fiscally prudent.

The 63-year-old Upmeyer has served in the House since 2003 and was made majority leader in 2010. She is from Clear Lake in northern Iowa.

1. Former chair of ALEC, Linda Upmeyer.

So actually ALEC has been named as the new speaker of the Iowa House.
She serves ALEC, not Iowa.

I sure wish the worthless fucking media would do some stories on what a cancer ALEC is, and how they corrupt our legislatures. They are literally the leading edge of fascism
