DES MOINES – Governor Chet Culver issued the following statement tonight, congratulating Democrat Curt Hanson on his victory in the House District 90 special election:

“Lieutenant Governor Judge and I want to congratulate Curt Hanson on his win tonight, and we look forward to working with him in the legislature in 2010. We also want to recognize Stephen Burgmeier and his local supporters for running a strong campaign.

“This election was important because voters in District 90 saw through the attempts by outside organizations to spread misinformation about our state. That's because Iowans know the facts: the budget is balanced; Iowa's fiscal health is strong; our cash reserves are high; we are the 4th best state in which to do business; and we have the 8th fastest growing economy. I'm glad voters in Southeast Iowa are sending Curt Hanson to Des Moines to work with legislative leaders and me in our effort to create good jobs, strengthen our economy, and keep moving Iowa forward.”
