Redistricting Threatens GOP Harmony in Iowa Politics
In Des Moines on December 18, Iowa Republicans fear redistricting could fracture party unity this winter. The 1941 legislature must redraw eight congressional districts from nine and realign state senate seats, with internal clashes over speakership shaping the process. GOP holds 86 of 108 House seats and 45 of 50 Senate seats, complicating maps that could oust a Democratic congressman while protecting existing GOP strength. Speakership contenders include John R. Irwin, David Dancer, Henry Burma, R. D. Blue, and A. H. Avery.
