Breckenridge and Patterson Seek GOP Nomination in 47th District
Representative Byron G. Allen reports the Forty-seventh state senatorial district race between W. J. Breckenridge of Palo Alto and George Patterson of Kossuth as the Republican contest to watch. Both are farmers and strong debaters, with Breckenridge aligning with the opposition on some large state expenditures while Patterson backed the Shaffer road bill and the state tax law. Patterson is seen as likely to push for policy support in the House, Breckenridge as Senate ally, and progressives weigh Breckenridge personally against Patterson’s prospect to defeat him.
