Republican voters in Iowa’s fourth congressional district have delivered a historic verdict, deciding against re-election for a long-time lawmaker with a penchant for controversial comments. Challenger Randy Feenstra has defeated Congressman Steve King’s bid for a 10th term.

Theresa Greenfield captured the Democratic Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate and will challenge Republican Senator Joni Ernst’s bid for a second term.

State Representative Ashley Hinson of Marion easily won the G-O-P Primary in Iowa’s second congressional district. Hinson won with 78 percent of the vote, defeating fellow Republican Thomas Hansen. She’s challenging incumbent Abby Finkenauer (FINK-en-ow-er) of Dubuque, a Democrat who’s serving her first-term in the U.S. House.

Secretary of State Paul Pate — the state’s commissioner of elections — says a record 487-thousand votes were cast in the primary, even though in-person voting was sparse.
