Hardman bested Republican Lucas Loftin by an overwhelming margin to win a seat representing parts of the Des Moines suburbs. The seat became vacant after the Oct. 6 death of state Sen. Claire Celsi, a Democrat.

Hardman, the 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 50-member Senate.

“I want to recognize that while my name was the one on the ballot, this race was never just about me,” Hardman told a room of supporters in West Des Moines after declaring victory.

Republicans keep losing Special Elections and that is an out layer for next year's Mid-Terms. Trump is dragging his party down and his economy is killing their chances as well.

Interesting, considering Iowa is definitively a Red state, yet she won the district by
43 percentage points and continued a trend of special elections in Iowa this year, where Democrats flipped two Senate seats from Republican to Democrat.

Since 47's return to the Oval Office, Republicans have suffered serious losses in Special/Off Year Elections. A trend that does NOT bode well for 2026.

Iowa has a Republican Governor who has her picks in place. 17 votes for Democrats vs 33 for Republicans leaves Republicans in charge.

I can't say that, it's right in the article that it was a vacated dem seat.

That said it was probably meant for the sub-80 IQ crowd....Which is a large percentage of the dem base....Just look at the OP!
