Grassley seeks seventh term amid national spotlight and local appeal
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, age 83, runs for a seventh six year term against Democrat Patty Judge. Des Moines and national observers note his rural persona, cross party work, and role as Judiciary Committee chair impacting Supreme Court nominations. Grassley cites unfinished business and the 2014 Harkin retirement as motives. He remains physically active and claims strong support from Republicans and independents.
