GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

Our Government Relations department is responsible for managing legislative representation at the state and national levels, while also organizing grassroots efforts through Iowa Rural Power which advocates for safe, reliable, affordable power that is environmentally responsible. The department also oversees a political action committee, Iowa FORE (Friends of Rural Electrification), and coordinates the contribution of funds to candidates who support the interests and goals of electric cooperatives. Contributions to FORE are for political purposes and are voluntary.
