DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Gov. Kim Reynolds is keeping campaign donations tied to a Des Moines firm that profited from a controversial lobbying blitz funded by Saudi Arabia.

Reynolds in November returned a $100 contribution from executive branch appointees Kim and Connie Schmett, saying she disagreed with their side work as foreign agents who collected $100,000 opposing a law allowing victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.

But her campaign kept several larger donations linked to the LS2Group, which received $76,500 from the same Saudi-funded work as the Schmetts.
