Branstad to Seek 6th Term

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R) “is expected to kick off a historic, juggernaut campaign for re-election that many political analysts suspect will be a cakewalk, even though a majority of Iowans think the Republican has been in office long enough,” the Des Moines Register reports.

“Iowa Democrats’ inability to produce a big-name challenger, and Branstad’s high popularity and job approval ratings, mean the governor’s in a strong position, strategists say.”
