ENDORSEMENT Hubbell right choice for Iowa The Daily Iowan and Iowa State Daily Editorial Boards endorse Democrat Fred Hubbell, a candidate who has made higher education a priority on the campaign trail, for Iowa governor on Nov. 6. Whichever candidate is selected to serve as Iowa’s next governor will face a unique set of challenges: a newly privatized Medicaid system, an imminent international trade war that has proven detrimental to Iowa farmers and chronic disinvestment in higher education. Despite these challenges, Iowa’s economy is booming, the unemployment rate is down at just 2.5 percent and Iowa is expected to have a $127 million budget surplus. After Iowa’s public universities, governed by the state Board of Regents, have suffered from millions of dollars in budget cuts — more than $35 million to the three institutions in the last two fiscal years alone — The Daily Iowan and the Iowa State Daily Editorial Boards believe it is imperative to keep the candidates’ stances on higher education in mind at the polls on Election Day. Our next governor needs to prioritize investment in our state’s future by creating a substantive plan to increase the funding for public education in Iowa. This is why our Editorial Boards endorse Democratic guberna- torial candidate Fred Hubbell for Iowa governor. The boards considered Kim Reynolds, the Republican incumbent, who has had an opportunity, albeit short, to govern Iowa.
