2020 Election Recap 2020 ELECTION RESULTS Last night was a much-anticipated evening of elections, impacting the control of many aspects of state and federal government from the White House to individual state legislative races. Below we have provided a summary of the state and federal elections, while highlighting some of the closer statehouse races. Later in November or early December, committee assignments will be finalized, including committee chairs/ranking members. Look for more information from us as those are announced. The Iowa Legislature will convene on Monday, January 11. CUPAC ENGAGEMENT It was a good night for credit union supported candidates. CUPAC actively engaged in 77 legislative races across the state, with 89 percent (58 of 65) of House candidates and 92 percent (11 of 12) of Senate candidates supported by the Credit Union Political Action Committee (CUPAC) winning their elections. In addition to the state legislature, the Iowa Credit Union League (ICUL) was engaged in our congressional elections, with two of the three candidates we supported (Senator Joni Ernst and Congresswoman Cindy Axne) winning. Congresswoman Finkenauer was the third ICUL- supported federal candidate, she lost to State Representative Ashley Hinson. PRESIDENTIAL As of this morning, there is not a declared winner in the election for President of the United States. Several states remain too close to call and neither candidate has secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. President Trump won Iowa’s 6 electoral votes, 53-45%. 7745 Office Plaza Drive North, Suite 170, West Des Moines, IA 50266 | P: 866.518.0209 | F: 515.221.3010 | 7745 Office Plaza Drive North, Suite 170, West Des Moines, IA 50266 | P: 866.518.0209 | policyworksiowa.com FEDERAL It appears Democrats will retain control of the U.S. House, though Republicans gained a few seats. Many races were undecided as of early this morning. The U.S. Senate is still too close to call the majority – returns so far indicate that Republicans may maintain control of the chamber. There will be a January 5th runoff for the U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, as no candidate reached 50%. Key Takeaways: . Iowa Congressional delegation is majority female for first time . U.S. Senate majority too close to call Iowa Senate: Senator Joni Ernst (R – Red Oak) defeated challenger Theresa Greenfield (D – Des Moines), 52%-45%. Iowa Congressional District Iowa Congressional District One: State Representative Two: In a very close race, Ashley Hinson (R – Marion) Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R – defeated Ottumwa) appears to have won Congresswoman Abby by 282 votes against former Finkenauer (D – Dubuque) State Senator Rita Hart (D – 51%-49%. Wheatland). This could be challenged. Iowa Congressional District Iowa Congressional District Three: Congressman Cindy Four: State Senator Randy Axne (D – Des Moines) Feenstra (R - Hull) defeated defeated former challenger J.D. Scholten (D - Congressman David Young Sioux City) by a margin of 62%- (R – Van Meter) in Iowa’s 38%. Third Congressional District, 49%-48%. 7745 Office Plaza Drive North, Suite 170, West Des Moines, IA 50266 | P: 866.518.0209 | F: 515.221.3010 | 7745 Office Plaza Drive North, Suite 170, West Des Moines, IA 50266 | P: 866.518.0209 | policyworksiowa.com STATE Click HERE to see the current list of State Representatives and Senators who won last evening. Key Takeaways: . Republicans increase their House majority to 59 and maintain Senate majority at 32 . Democrats outspent GOP Iowa House Going into the election, Republicans held a 53 to 47 lead in the House, with eleven open seat races. Republicans held onto their majority powered by pickups in the suburbs around Des Moines, regaining seats lost only a cycle ago; as well as flipping blue-collar traditional Democrat areas in Southeast Iowa. House Democrats did not beat an incumbent Republican and ended up losing six incumbents themselves. Republicans ended the night with an expanded majority, 59 to 41. Notable House Races Here are results of some of the close races: . State Representative Jeff Shipley (R – Fairfield) defeated former State Representative Phil Miller in a rematch by 170 votes. State Representative Karin Derry (D – Johnston) lost to Eddie Andrews, 51-49%. State Representative Mary Gaskill (D – Ottumwa) was defeated by Cherilynn Westrich, 53-47%.

State Representative Bobby Kaufmann (R – Wilton) defeated Lonny Pulkrabek, 60-40%. State Representative Scott Ourth (D – Ackworth) lost his race to Brooke Boden, 54-46%. State Representative Andy McKean (D – Anamosa) was defeated by challenger Steven Bradley, 53-47%. House District 95 (open seat in Mt. Vernon/Center Point) was won by Charlie McClintock, 54-46%.

House District 16 (open seat in Council Bluffs) was won by former Speaker of the House Brent Siegrist, 51-45%. 7745 Office Plaza Drive North, Suite 170, West Des Moines, IA 50266 | P: 866.518.0209 | F: 515.221.3010 | 7745 Office Plaza Drive North, Suite 170, West Des Moines, IA 50266 | P: 866.518.0209 | policyworksiowa.com Iowa Senate The results of the Iowa Senate was the less anticipated of the two chambers, as it was expected the Senate Republicans would hold their majority. That was the case— both Senate Democrats and Republicans each flipped a seat, maintaining the 32-18 Republican majority. Notable Senate Races Here are a few of the close races: . State Senator Brad Zaun (R – Urbandale) defeated Rhonda Martin, 51-49%. State Senator Eric Giddens (D – Cedar Falls) won against Harold Youngblut, 51-48%. State Senator Dan Dawson (R – Council Bluffs) defeated challenger Steve Gorman, 52- 48%. State Senator Mark Lofgren (R – Muscatine) won his race against former State Senator Chris Brase, 59-41%.

  • Iowa Legislative Alert
    IOWA LEGISLATIVE ALERT Issue: The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will hold a Lobbying Workshop and legislator visit on February 22nd, 2017. Points of Contact: Using the list attached to this alert, along with the action alert, contact your elected Representative and Senator. Others that are helpful to contact: • House Speaker: Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake: [email protected] • House Majority Leader: Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights: [email protected] • House Minority Leader: Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown: [email protected] • Senate President: Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny: [email protected] • Senate Majority Leader: Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock: [email protected] • Senate Minority Leader: Robert Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids: [email protected] Analysis Iowa law licenses dietitians for the providing of nutrition assessment, goal setting, counseling, or advice. There is an exemption in the law for licensed physicians and surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, dental hygienists, pharmacists or physical therapists that make dietetic or nutritional assessments, or give dietetic or nutritional advice in the normal practice of their profession or as otherwise authorized by law. However there is no such exemption for holistic nutrition professionals. The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will be holding a Lobbying Workshop along with meetings with key legislators. Recommendations We should politely disrupt the legislative day and urge policymakers to consider finding ways to open up the practice of nutrition. Specifically, we should call attention to parts of the law that are anticompetitive, and encourage them to investigate whether licensure of dietetics prevents competition, by creating a monopoly for a single profession.
