Iowa GOP Bans Officials from Taking Campaign Pay

“Republican Party of Iowa board members will no longer be able to get paid for political campaign work, eliminating potential conflicts of interests,” the Des Moines Register reports.

“It’s important because Iowa plays an outsized role in winnowing the field of presidential candidates, party leaders say, and the integrity and reputation of the caucuses depend on the conviction that Iowans in positions of political power aren’t being paid to stack the deck for their candidate.”
