(Glidden, Iowa) – Today, Iowa House Transportation Committee Chair Brian Best (R-Glidden) today announced he will not seek another term in the Iowa House of Representatives. Best has served the people of District 11 since 2015.

“It has been an honor to serve the people of District 11 and the state of Iowa," Best said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to have made a difference in the lives of others, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together in the Statehouse.”

During his time in the Iowa House, Best served on a number of committees, including Commerce, Health and Human Services, Labor and Workforce, and Ways and Means. He was also a leader in updating Iowa’s laws surrounding pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

“Brian Best has been a valuable asset to the Iowa House of Representatives,” said Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley. “He is a dedicated public servant who has always put the needs of his constituents first. I will miss working with him, but I wish him all the best in his retirement from the Iowa Legislature.”

Best’s retirement will create an open seat in District 11. House District 11 includes all of Carroll and Audubon counties as well as portions of Shelby and Pottawattamie counties.
