| Description | Sen. Joe Seng, D-Davenport said he plans to run against Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, according to the Des Moines Register.
Seng said he wants to run because he said he believes a moderate Democrat would help create some needed change, according to the Register.
He has collected around 150 signatures since the morning of March 2, according to the Register; he needs 1,229 to get on the ballot. Seng has until March 16 to get the signatures.
Seng is serving his third term as senator but is not up for re-election this year. He also served a term in the Iowa House and was a former mayor pro tem and alderman at large in Davenport, according to the Register. He is also a veterinarian who was in favor of the "Ag Gag" bill, according to the Register.
Loebsack's campaign declined to comment on Seng's plans to run. |
