Food Bank of Iowa leader doesn’t see letup in need

April 5th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Food Bank of Iowa is conducting a series of statewide meetings learning about the issues facing those who don’t have enough food. Food Bank of Iowa C-E-O Michelle Book visited one the meetings in Webster City to talk to a group of food pantry representatives about the problem. She says they all say the need for their services continues to grow.

Book says there’s another group that’s also being hit hard.

There is more information on the meetings at foodbankiowa.org.

Vocalist brings Iowa a gumbo of blues, folk, gospel and R&B

(Radio Iowa) – A singer-songwriter whose childhood was split between rural Kentucky and New York City will bring her unique blend of music to Iowa next week for two stops. Martha Redbone is on a national tour offering songs — and stories — which she says aim to lend a voice to issues of social justice, while bridging traditions and cultures from the past and present.

The 58-year-old is Native and African-American, as her father was a gospel singer and her mother had roots in the Cherokee, Shawnee and Choctaw nations.

In her teens, Redbone met country legend Willie Nelson at the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in New York, and he remains one of her enduring heroes.

When you play music, she says, you’re representing all the people who’ve influenced your life, your family, your teachers. One of her early mentors was songwriter and producer Walter “Junie” Morrison, a member of the prominent ’70s funk band, Parliament Funkadelic.

Redbone and her band will perform April 11th at the Englert Theatre in Iowa City, and April 12th at the Temple Theater in Des Moines.

Iowa GOP chair says stakes of ’24 race will transcend ’23 rift between Gov. Reynolds and Trump

News

April 5th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Republican Party chairman Jeff Kaufmann says the friction between former President Donald Trump and Governor Kim Reynolds over her November endorsement of Ron DeSantis will evaporate as the General Election campaign gets underway.

Trump complained about the governor’s lack of loyalty throughout 2023. In the weeks leading up to the Iowa Caucuses, crowds at Trump rallies in Iowa often booed when Trump mentioned Reynolds by name.

Kaufmann suggests Reynolds and Trump have some fence mending to do, however.

Reynolds has been Iowa’s governor for nearly seven years.

Kaufmann says with one-point-six million dollars in her campaign account and an aggressive travel schedule in Iowa, Reynolds is well positioned to run for reelection in 2026 if that’s what she intends to do.

Kaufmann made his comments this (Friday) morning during taping of “Iowa Press” which airs tonight (Friday) on Iowa P-B-S. In a written statement released this (Friday) afternoon, Reynolds noted she has endorsed Trump and said it’s important for Iowa Republicans to deliver Iowa for Trump, end Joe Biden’s political career and return Trump to the White House.
