Brant Considered for Second District Nomination
Des Moines reports indicate David Brant of the Iowa City Republican may seek the district nomination. Brant, former Clinton Herald editor, moved to Iowa City from Clinton and has run for lieutenant governor and for representative, losing to Democratic majorities in Clinton and surrounding counties. The Second district remains competitive with Republican sentiment in Scott and Muscatine. Johnson and Clinton lean Democratic, while Jackson and Muscatine votes are pivotal in recent outcomes. Rumple defeated Vollmer two years ago by 1,282 votes, Muscatine contributing nearly 700 of that margin.
