If anything good can be said about the upcoming 2020 general election in the United States, it’s that women are competing against each other in all of the ticket’s top races where I live. At least once you get past the presidential race.
I can’t remember this happening before in Iowa, but here are the races:
- Sen. Joni Ernst, a Republican, is being challenged by Democrat Theresa Greenfield
- Rep. Abby Finkenauer, a Democrat, is being challenged in Iowa’s First District by Republican Ashley Hinson
- Democrat Rita Hart and Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks are slugging it out to succeed retiring Rep. David Loebsack, a Democrat, in Iowa’s Second District.
