State Rep. Charlie McClintock came out two votes ahead of combat veteran Colman Silbernagel in a reversal of unofficial election night results in the June 7 GOP primary for Iowa Senate District 42 following hand recounts of the ballots.
Three GOP candidates are on the primary ballot for the Iowa Senate in District 42, Linn and Johnson County. There is no incumbent senator in the district due to redistricting in 2021. The winner of the primary election on June 7 will run in November against Democrat Jessica Wiskus, the only Democrat who is running in the district.
