August 28, 2025Notes on the State of Politics: Iowa Special Elections, Utah Redistricting By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— In Iowa, Democrats continued to rack up special election overperformances by flipping a Trump-won state Senate seat that is based in Sioux City.
— Democrats have broken the GOP’s supermajority in the state Senate, although Republicans still hold comfortable majorities in both chambers of the legislature.
— A judge threw out Utah’s current House map, a GOP gerrymander, ruling that it does not fit with the guidelines set by a 2018 voter-approved state ballot issue.
