Contests for Iowa Senate seats spark fast party moves
In eastern Iowa rapid contests reshape the 11th and 22nd Senate districts after resignations by Norpel and Gliba. Maurice Hennessey wins the Democratic nomination on the final ballot while Forrest Ashcraft or other Republicans vie for the vacancy. Governor Ray schedules a December 28 special election in the 22nd district and hints at additional party maneuvers as candidates seek clearest path to the new Senate balance.
