Primary election shocks pundits in Iowa headline turnabout
The weekly Iowa Press release notes Nell Carroll's upset of Speaker William Harbor for the Republican lieutenant governor nomination while Democrat William Gannon faced no opposition. Franzenburg beat Tapscott for governor, with Ray unopposed for a third term. Turnout lagged rains, and Lounsberry won the Republican agriculture post over Stadlman as Owen defeated Murphy for the Democrat chance to run against Lounsberry. Miller defeated Scott for the U.S. Senate. Mezvinsky and Taylor won in the first and third districts respectively. The Des Moines convention Aug 11-12 will consider a 100‑plank platform, with abortion as a potential flashpoint. An audit of Woodward State Hospital revealed irregularities including a $3700 meal-ticket shortage and the disappearance of nearly a mile of wire worth about $1500, prompting possible grand jury review.
