Beau Klaver, 23, heads to the Iowa House from the family farm

When the Iowa House convenes in January, its youngest member will be a farmer from Kamrar who plants cover crops with drones. Beau Klaver, a Republican, won the open Iowa House District 55 seat on Nov. 3, beating Democrat Cynthia Oppedal Paschen. Unofficial results showed Klaver with 8,361 votes, about 64.7%, to Paschen’s 4,552, about 35.2%, the Hampton Chronicle reported. The district covers Franklin and Hamilton counties along with parts of Wright and Story counties, so a slice of Wright County voters will be sending him to Des Moines.

Regents committee weighs enrollment growth, IT cuts to save $35M

A committee is studying how to save money at Iowa's three public universities by potentially recruiting community college and making cuts to IT. The Revenue Enhancement and Productivity Study, or REAPS initiative was established by the Iowa Board of Regents in December 2025 as a "comprehensive review of revenue streams and cost efficiencies across the Regents enterprise." The board established a target savings of $35 million over three years, which is roughly 5% of all Regent appropriations from the state general fund. The REAPS committee, which includes Regent board members and staff as well as staff from Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa, plans to deliver a report to the Regents in February. Chief Efficiency Officer and committee member Jacob Nicholson said he is "very confident that in February REAPS will deliver vetted, validated, and actionable recommendations for the board.

Steel plant executive offers SE Iowa promises — and hope

FORT MADISON — In a carpeted Quality Inn & Suites conference room, an executive in a navy-blue vest made promises to residents in the southeast corner of Iowa. First, Mesabi Metallics CEO Joe Broking promised the farmers, mechanics, local officials and others gathered there that his company would be transparent. Then, he promised them the world. Broking displayed a rendering of the company's plan: a sprawling industrial campus where employees will melt iron and turn it into rolled steel. He provided a long list of industries that could buy from the plant, from automakers to appliance manufacturers and construction materials suppliers. It will be “the cleanest, most environmentally friendly steel in the world at the lowest cost,” Broking said. “And we can do that right here in the U.S., right here in Iowa.” The promises kept coming. “Your schools are going to improve. Your housing market’s going to improve. Access to community amenities is going to improve,” Broking said. People in the crowd of about 100 whispered among themselves as he went on. “This is absolutely a fantastic opportunity for Mesabi Metallics and a fantastic opportunity for each and every one of you. And I can’t wait to actually come

Even as the prices Iowans pay for things remain high, a survey finds many of us are sticking with traditions and won’t skimp on the holidays

Even as the prices Iowans pay for things remain high, a survey finds many of us are sticking with traditions and won’t skimp on the holidays. November and December are vital to retailers, as some Iowa merchants can make up for ten months of average sales in the year’s final two months. National Retail Federation vice president Allison Zeller says they’re projecting consumer spending will rise more than four percent for the holidays. Zeller says prices are up and consumers are feeling uncertain about the economy, but they’re not skipping the holidays. She says the survey finds people are planning early, looking for value, and protecting the traditions they have with their families.
