"Here in Iowa, we still know right from wrong, boys from girls and liberty from tyranny."— Gov. Kim Reynolds in her newest ad.
Driving the news: In her final push before the Nov. 8 general election, Reynolds dropped $900,000 on a new ad that is catching attention for its mention of transgender rights.
- In the beginning of the one-minute ad, Reynolds highlights her "values," saying that Iowans know the difference of "boys from girls."
Flashback: Reynolds signed legislation this year banning transgender girls from playing in school sports that align with their gender identity.
What they're saying: "I think that's shameful. I'm very disappointed to see the governor use her final ad to target trans folks in that way," Keenan Crow, a spokesperson for One Iowa, told KCCI.
