“It’s been an honor to represent the constituents of House District 80 in the Iowa House of Representatives,” said Brink. “After giving it a lot of thought, I have decided not to seek re-election in 2022 and devote more of my time to my three kids. I will continue to stay involved and advocate for policies that give parents a greater voice, and move Iowa in the right direction making Iowa the best place to live, work and raise a family.”

In the Iowa House, Brink chairs the Government Oversight committee. Additionally, she serves on the Appropriations, IT, Economic Growth, and Education committees.

“I am looking forward to throwing my complete support behind Representative Dustin Hite during this next campaign cycle,” said Brink. “Hite and I have worked on several important pieces of legislation that were brought out of our combined efforts in Government Oversight and Education. He is a very talented legislator and that will serve the district extremely well. I will be honored to call him my representative.”

Brink will serve out the remainder of her term through 2022.
