GOP fears reapportionment could move Washington County
Washington County Republican chairman Robert Shepherd warns that a Democratic Legislature might redraw boundaries to move Washington from Iowa's 1st District to the 4th. He notes Washington is in the 1st, while Keokuk lies in the 4th, a Democratic stronghold. Shepherd cites past margins and current party registration as reasons to act now to help capture the Legislature in 1980.
