Democrat Renee Hardman wins Iowa Senate special election [View all]
https://www.kcci.com/article/renee-hardman-wins-iowa-senate-special-election/69890868Democrat Renee Hardman was elected to the Iowa state Senate on Tuesday in a holiday-week special election, denying Republicans' bid to reclaim two-thirds control of the chamber.
Hardman bested Republican Lucas Loftin by an overwhelming margin to win the seat representing parts of Des Moines' suburbs. It became vacant after the Oct. 6 death of state Sen. Claire Celsi, a Democrat.
Hardman, CEO of nonprofit Lutheran Services of Iowa and a member of the West Des Moines City Council, becomes the first Black woman elected to the Senate.
