Republican Supermajority Broken As Leftist Activist Wins In Trump-Leaning Iowa Senate District
« on: August 27, 2025, 11:58:15 am »


Republicans are poised to lose their supermajority in the Iowa Senate after a leftist activist defeated a Republican businessman on Tuesday in a special election to fill a vacant seat.

Democrat Catelyn Drey defeated Republican Christopher Prosch by about 800 votes to win Iowa’s 1st Senate district, according to preliminary election results. Drey, the founder of the leftwing group Moms for Iowa, earned 55% of the vote.

Meh. I'm more upset about losing the supermajority, but this is not indicative of a trend.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

It truly is, especially in that part of the state that's so heavily GOP.
