Terry Branstads Appointment as U.S. Ambassador to China | 2016-12-07 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | IA | David Young | Y000066 | davidyoung.house.gov | legacy | Young Applauds Gov. Terry Branstad’s Appointment as U.S. Ambassador to China WASHINGTON, D.C. - Iowa Congressman David Young released the following statement after President-elect Donald Trump indicated he will nominate Iowa Governor Terry Branstad to be the next U.S. ambassador to China: “Governor Branstad, Iowa’s longest serving governor, has spent his career dedicated to the wellbeing of all Iowans and working to strengthen our great state. He has forged a strong relationship with China spanning decades, and has an understanding of the issues important to furthering a longstanding relationship between our two nations. He will bring a high level of commitment and service to this new role, and will also be in a very powerful position to promote and advance policies and relationships important to Iowa and our economy. As a friend and colleague, I wish him and his family all the best. “With this news, I am also looking forward to welcoming Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds to her new role as Iowa’s first ever female governor sometime in 2017 once Governor Branstad is confirmed by the U.S. Senate. I look forward to working with her to make this a smooth transition for the state and our citizens.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
