Grassley Tests Political Waters for Senate Bid
U S Representative Charles Grassley of Iowa forms an exploratory committee to evaluate a 1980 Senate run against Democrat John Culver. The panel, about a dozen members, aims to organize, raise funds, and poll, with an expected at least 1.1 million dollars needed for primary and general elections. Grassley notes possible GOP challengers and favorable early polling against Culver, while emphasizing broad grassroots support from thousands of small donors.
