Voters will choose party nominees for the fall election on Monday June 7 in Iowa. Beardsley gains as a GOP threat with backing from Farm Bureau labor and teachers. Blue counts on central committees. Democrats largely abstain, some planning to use Republican ballots to influence Blue’s odds. County races show little excitement beyond board member and recorder contests.
