Didn’t attract much statewide attention. The seat was previously Democrat too.
The district is home to a Maharishi colony. Trump would be popular as a social liberal/fiscal conservative. Wouldn’t be a place for a social conservative.
Fairfield... home of Maharishi International University (the old Parsons College site) and in one of Iowa’s lower tier of counties (”Missouri Norte”).
Same here, regarding high school, but that was in the very early 70’s. I get a feeling they teach different stuff nowadays.
Sometimes I’m shocked at how much useless fluff you have to read in internet articles just to get to the subject at hand. Man, that is annoying.
On a side note, I hate “how to fix it” youtube videos that can go on for several minutes about this or that before they get to why you are there in the first place.
The Democrat won a seat in a state legislature. Big deal. Tempest in a proverbial teapot written as an Earth shaking political event.

State Senate. The geezer Dem who held the seat died.
You are correct, sir. From the article:
Although voter registration numbers are relatively even in District 82 – 6,611 registered Republicans to 6,257 registered Democrats...'
They held a seat, they did not add one.
Dem replacing Dem in state legislature
Miller will fill out the remainder of Curt Hanson’s term in the Iowa House for District 82
He's a democrat, not a democratic. And there's nothing democratic about the democRat party.
The incumbent died while in office, hence a special election. Perhaps this was a sympathy vote?
Well, the Republican Party certainly isn’t giving it’s voters much reason to bother to go to the polls. That doesn’t mean we like Democrats, but it may mean a lot will stay home. Let the GOP beware, people are sick of the BS.
A Straw In the Wind? or a Straw to be grasped at?
Better than two trying to occupy the same seat, I suppose.
Not losing = Democratic definition of winning.
The seat was a Democratic seat. To be sure, we might have, could have and maybe even should won it, but we didn’t. They retained the seat.
In other non-events, we retained two seats in special elections.
On one of my rare Facebook adventures I encountered a libtard that claimed healthcare was a “right”. When she responded to my inquiry on just how she had come by this curious notion she indignantly lay claim to some mystical special authority as she was “Magna Cum Luade from George Mason Law School. ‘93”. I responded apparently they failed to teach “Magna Cum Laudes” at George Mason in the 90s what I learned in high school in the 60s. Her next reply was nearly unintelligible and completely irrational.
In other non-events, we retained two seats in special elections … in Missouri.

Long time Dem district win?
Big surprise.
propaganda

It was hilarious when I revealed to her that I was a doctor and asked her just how it was she proposed to extract her “right” to healthcare from my head against my will.
