SIOUX CENTER, Iowa Ramona Nitz met Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for the first time on Saturday while attending the Feenstra Family Picnic hosted by Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-IA). Nitz, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Cherokee, Iowa, is like most attendees who showed up for the picnic on a cloudy weekend morning: she s a conservative who wants a candidate who will defeat President Joe Biden during next year s presidential elections.
