Branstad to Name 17 Appointees for New State Departments
Des Moines Gov. Terry Branstad plans to appoint 17 officials to heads of new departments created by the state government reorganization. The list includes William Krahl and Ed Yelick guiding the Office for Management and many agency chiefs such as Gerald Bair at Revenue and Finance, Mary Ellis at Health, and Warren Lawson at Public Defense. The reorganized structure consolidates duties across Revenue, Health, Education, Public Safety, and Natural Resources with six agencies remaining largely unchanged.
