Republican from Packwood wins southeast Iowa state senate seat
A southeast Iowa businessman has won the special election for the state senate seat Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa held until she resigned to become a member of the U.S. House.
Forty-seven-year-old Adrian Dickey, a Republican from Packwood, won by a 10.5 point margin. Once he’s sworn in, Republicans will have a 32-seat majority in the Iowa Senate.
“This whole campaign has been 18 days so that alone it a bit of an oddity, but I felt really, really confident going into Sunday,” Dickey told Radio Iowa this evening. “I probably made 3000 phone calls, maybe knocked on 1000 doors.”
