Former Gov. Terry Branstad announced today that state Sen. Kim Reynolds, an Osceola Republican, is his choice for running mate in his bid for a fifth term as governor in November.

Reynolds, who served four terms as Clarke County treasurer, is half way through her first term in the Iowa Senate after winning election to the District 48 seat in 2008 — which encompasses Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Montgomery, Ringgold, Taylor and Union counties. She also served as a member of the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS) board as a Branstad appointee from 1996 to 2001.

Branstad, who won the 2010 GOP gubernatorial nomination by beating Bob Vander Plaats of Sioux City and Rod Roberts of Carroll, said he went through a thoughtful and deliberative process in finding the best possible choice for running mate.
