Kim Reynolds Religious beliefs

Gov. Reynolds is a conservative Christian. 

Reynolds chose a leader from a conservative Christian group as the sole speaker for the public at her May 2nd, 2020 news conference to discuss lifted restrictions on religious gatherings.

Greg Baker, executive vice president of the conservative Christian group the Family Leader, highlighted the work of many Christian churches across the state that have been making face masks, working with food banks, and distributing food to those in need. He did not mention the work of any non-Christian religion.

“We are seeing the attitude of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ here as ambassadors,” Baker said during Reynolds’ daily news conference on the coronavirus in Iowa. “And Jesus came to not be served, but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.”
