Having been founded in June 2023 with nineteen members, the intervener group has now grown to include 43 Iowa legislators from both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

“We are thrilled to welcome these newly elected legislators,” said Representative Helena Hayes, one of several founding members of the Legislative Interveners. “Because these legislators choose to stand boldly with us, their actions showcase a personal commitment to protect private property rights.”

As an incoming freshman and new member, Representative Judd Lawler of Iowa County stated, “Iowans are increasingly concerned about the use of eminent domain to advance the interests of private companies rather than the public interest.”
