Republicans Seek House 77 Seat in Dem Johnson County
In Johnson County's House 77, Republican contenders Paula Dreeszen and Royce Phillips face steep odds in a largely Democratic district. With incumbent Sally Stutsman retiring, the GOP hopefuls emphasize fiscal responsibility, small government, and listening to all voters. They stress concerns over roads, education, Medicaid privatization, and mental health, pledging to represent working residents beyond affluent interests. The primary is Tuesday with the general election to follow.
