Democrat wins key Iowa state Senate race
Los Angeles Times
|January 01, 2026
Democrat Renee Hardman was elected to the Iowa state Senate on Tuesday in a yearend special election, denying Republicans from reclaiming two-thirds control of the chamber.
RENEE Hardman is the CEO of a nonprofit.
(Hardman for Iowa)
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 chief executive of non profit 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.
With 99% of votes counted, Hardman led by about 43 percentage points.
