Grassley has already filed for reelection bid in 2028
by Zach Schonfeld - 11/17/22 3:16 PM ET
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the upper chamber’s second oldest member, has filed paperwork to run for reelection in 2028.
Grassley, 89, won reelection last week to his eighth term, and he would be 95 years old at the time of the 2028 elections and a centenarian when that term ends.
The Iowa Republican filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission on Wednesday.
The filing does not necessarily mean Grassley will run for a ninth term.
Political figures are required to file the paperwork in order to participate in certain campaigning activities, including if they want to raise more money than what is reasonably needed to “test the waters” about running.
The Hill has reached out to a spokesperson for Grassley’s campaign for comment.
