  DNR Director Jeff Vonk has worked hard during his 6 years in office to change the culture of the DNR to make it more responsive to the people, take more (and bigger) steps towards addressing the huge water pollution problems in Iowa, improve our state parks and wildlife management areas, and generally, to turn around the DNR and save the agency from the years and years of backsliding into oblivion.
   
  There is much work still to be done.
   
  All Department heads are required to submit their resignations after every election for Governor.  Then it’s up to Governor Culver to decide whether to accept those resignations or not.  There is concern that Jeff Vonk may not be retained, that certain lobby groups are working hard to make sure that the DNR does not continue to advance under Jeff Vonk’s leadership.  
   
  Please consider contacting the Governor’s office via telephone at (515) 725-2000 or email at [log in to unmask] or  [log in to unmask] and voice your support that Jeff Vonk should continue the cultural change of the Iowa DNR.
   
  Thanks,
  Donna
