Hoegh’s Political Rise and Wartime Service in Iowa
The text recounts Hoegh’s early entry to politics after neighbors elected him to the Iowa legislature in 1937, his Army service peaking as lieutenant colonel, and a 1945 Elbe River link-up with Soviet forces. It covers his 1950 congressional bid ending in defeat, his 1952 GOP convention influence for Eisenhower, and a 1954 bid for governor where he built a 150-person committee, raised $5900, and won the nomination with over 40 percent, before an unsuccessful run for a second term.
