Iowa House Republicans Elect Rep. Bobby Kaufmann to Serve as Majority Leader

On Monday, Iowa House Republicans elected Representative Bobby Kaufmann as Majority Leader, replacing Matt Windschitl for the remainder of the 91st General Assembly and leading the 67-member GOP supermajority.
With Windschitl’s vacancy on the leadership team, Kaufmann was elected after Windschitl stepped down to run for Iowa’s 4th Congressional District in July.
During Trump’s 2024 caucus campaign, Kaufmann served as a senior advisor, and he has chaired the House Ways and Means Committee since 2022, serving in the Iowa House since 2013 after succeeding his father, Jeff Kaufmann.
Amid calls for unity, House Minority Leader Brian Meyer urged bipartisan solutions, saying `Iowa faces critical issues, like property tax reform, public education funding, and economic struggles.`
Looking toward the future, Kaufmann said legislators will prepare proposals for next year’s legislative session as the 91st General Assembly continues through January 2027.
