From the Hawkeye:

Spurring job creation isn’t a typical duty for attorneys general, but the Republican candidate for the office, Brenna Findley, knows “brain drain” has been a problem for Iowa, and she wants to help.

Findley, 34 – the same age the current attorney general was when sworn into office in 1978 – already has done a small part in fighting that battle by returning from California to take a job in Iowa.

Raised on a farm outside Dexter, Findley returned to Iowa in 2003 to become chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-5th District. She now has a private law practice in Des Moines.

As a candidate, though, she sees untapped potential for an attorney general.

“A lot of people ask me (how to spur job creation as an attorney general) because it hasn’t been a focus of the current attorney general, and I do it by serving as the problem-solving lawyer on Iowa’s economic development team to bring jobs to Iowa,” Findley said Monday. “I’ll focus on at least two areas: One is frivolous litigation, and red-tape regulations.”
