A Congressional committee, with members from Plymouth Sioux and Buena Vista counties, will set date, place, and representation ratios. Delegates may be chosen by county chairs before June 30, and state law governs vacancies. Campbell led eight counties, Gilman and Prichard won key counties, but overall primary standings may be overridden by delegate choices at the convention. Candidates push to contact delegates ahead of county conventions forming the convention that will name the congressional nominee.
