**Iowa State Rep. Mike Sexton Resigns to Join Trump Administration**
**DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) –** Iowa State Representative Mike Sexton (R-Rockwell City) has resigned from his position in the Iowa House to accept an appointment within the Trump Administration. Sexton submitted his resignation letter Friday, citing a position offered by former President Trump, though he did not disclose the specific role.
Sexton, who was first elected in 2014 and recently re-elected in 2024 with a commanding 83% of the vote, represented a heavily Republican district. Governor Kim Reynolds will schedule a special election to fill the now-vacant seat.
During his time in the Iowa House, Sexton served on various boards and committees at both the local and state levels. A vocal supporter of Donald Trump, Sexton endorsed him prior to the 2024 election. He notably spoke at a Trump rally in Fort Dodge, where his Yoda impersonation gained brief social media attention.
