OTTUMWA, Iowa Mary Stewart is no stranger to politics, nor to State Senate District 41.
She ran for the seat in 2018, losing to Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks by 808 votes.
During Thursday s Democratic convention, many who approached her asked her to run again, viewing her as the perfect candidate for the special election.
She said yes.
Local 5 spoke with the candidate Monday. Adrian Dickey is the Republican candidate for the district. He has not responded to requests for an interview.
Stewart views herself as someone who can work in a bipartisan fashion, should she make it Des Moines.
