Iowa Democrats Lose Hope Finding Candidates to Run in Tough Races

Jacob Bliss 1 Jun 2021

Democrats are struggling to find Iowans to challenge the state’s one-term incumbent Republicans after suffering major losses in the last election cycle.

In Iowa’s Second Congressional District, Democrats lost by the slimmest margin in almost 40 years. A difference of six votes brought Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) to the halls of Congress.

Hart, at the time, tried to overturn the election with the help of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democrat-run Congress. Hart withdrew her challenge amid an onslaught of opposition.

“So far, no Democrat has stepped up to run,” the Associated Press reports. Many expected Hart to declare her candidacy and seek a rematch with Miller-Meeks in the second district.

We here in SE Iowa along the Mississippi were hard blue died-in-the-wool union Dems for right at 40 years.

This election, every elected official in my county above County Supervisor is Republican.

Even 5 years ago you would have been laughed out of the room for predicting that.

Iowa right now is almost as red as Oklahoma, Alabama, or Mississippi.
