Iowa’s six Electoral College votes have been officially cast for President-Elect Donald Trump and Vice President-Elect JD Vance. The state’s Secretary of State, Paul Pate, announced that over 927,000 Iowans voted for Trump. Meanwhile, residents in Sioux City are invited to a meeting to learn about the removal of lead pipelines in their homes to comply with federal regulations. In other news, Governor Kristi Noem has been nominated as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security by President-Elect Donald Trump, with South Dakota’s Lieutenant Governor Larry Rhoden poised to succeed her as the state’s governor. The Department of Homeland Security was established in response to the 9/11 attacks and is a significant federal agency. Additionally, the holiday season is a good opportunity to discuss finances with older family members, as suggested by Iowa Insurance Division’s Sonya Sellmeyer. It may be beneficial to review life insurance policies and obtain power of attorney to discuss financial matters with outside parties. Initiating conversations about finances with older family members can help ensure their wishes are respected and their finances are managed effectively.
