IFC’s Board Member and volunteer lobbyist, Richard Rogers, is at the Capitol today as Iowa’s 90th General Assembly convenes. With so many newly elected legislators, Richard will be busy learning new names and faces. Pictured is fierce Second Amendment supporter Senator Jason Schultz, who was being interviewed in the Capitol’s rotunda by a TV crew. Senator Schultz has been the floor manager for several of IFC’s most important initiatives.

In other news from the Capitol, two of IFC’s staunchest allies were elected to leadership positions in the Senate. Senator Amy Sinclair was elected as President of the Senate. As President, she presides over the Senate, which includes assigning bills to committees and setting the debate calendar. Senator Brad Zaun was elected Senate President Pro-tempore, and will preside when the President is absent from the chair. Senator Zaun is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where most bills of concern to IFC are considered. Senators Sinclair and Schultz are also members of that critical committee.
