    The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats by Jennifer M

    GOVERNORS The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle Only three governors were elected in 2015. Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi are the only states that hold their gubernatorial elections during the year prior to the presidential election. This means that these three states can be early indicators of any voter unrest that might unleash itself more broadly in the next year’s congressional and presidential elections, and we saw some of this in the two races where candidates were vying for open seats. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) was elected to a second term, running in a state that strongly favored his political party. Both Kentucky and Louisiana have elected Democrats and Republicans to the governorship in recent years, and each race was seen as up for grabs by many political pundits. In the end, each election resulted in the governorship turning over to the other political party. Though Tea Party sentiments played a signifi- he lost badly to McConnell, he had name recog- cant role in the primary elections in Kentucky and nition when he entered the gubernatorial race as Louisiana, none of the general elections reflected an anti-establishment candidate who ran an out- the vigor that the Tea Party displayed in the 2014 sider’s campaign against two Republicans who had gubernatorial elections.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 10, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Iowans divided, but power unlikely to change hands Raleigi h, N.C.- PPP’s most recent poll of Iowa voterrs shows a closely divided, though stable, political climate in the Hawkeye State. Republicans seem likely to hold on to hold on to the governorship, as both Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds hold leads over most Democratic candidates. Chet Culver seems to be the Democrats’ most viable option, as the former Governor trails Branstad by just 5%, 47% to 42%, and leads Reynolds 42% to 38%. Every other potential challenger falls to Branstad by double digits, though the races are much closer against Reynolds. In the 2014 election to replace retiring Democratic Seenator Tom Harkin, who has an approval rating of 49% to 39% disapproval, the best margin for any political figure in Iowa, the Democrats are likely to retain the seat. Congressman Bruce Braley holds double digit leads over every major Republican candidate, with the sole exception of former US Attorney Matt Whitaker, whom he leads by 9%, 43% to 34%. This may be due to the fact that he has the highest name recognitioon of any possible Senate candidate, with 58% having an opinion (34% favorable, 24% unfavorable) compared to 19% for radio host Sam Clovis (5%/14%), 20% for State Senator Joni Ernst (7%/13%), 16% for businessman Mark Jacobs (4%/12%), and 24% for Matt Whitaker (9%/15%) In other news, Iowans are still divided on the issue of same-sex marriage, with 47% supporting its legality and 44% opposing.

    PETTYS FINAL 5/14/2011 12:44:21 PM Letter from Iowa: Same-Sex Marriage and the Ouster of Three Justices Todd E. Pettys∗ I. INTRODUCTION On November 2, 2010, voters in Iowa fired three of the Iowa Supreme Court’s seven justices.1 Under constitutional reforms that Iowans had adopted nearly half a century earlier, each of those justices had been appointed by the state’s governor from a list of names supplied by the state’s judicial nominating commission,2 but then was required to stand for a retention vote after a short initial period of service and every eight years thereafter.3 Chief Justice Marsha Ternus had been appointed to the state’s high court by Republican Governor Terry Branstad in 1993 and was on the November 2010 ballot seeking her third eight-year term; Justice Michael Streit had been appointed by Democratic Governor Tom Vilsack in 2001 and was seeking his second eight-year term; and Justice David Baker had been appointed by Democratic Governor Chet Culver in 2008 and was seeking his first eight-year term.4 Under ordinary circumstances, each of those justices would have been virtually guaranteed success on Election Day. Since Iowa moved from an ∗ H. Blair and Joan V. White Professor of Law, University of Iowa College of Law.

    Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement Series

    Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement Interviews with 61 leaders from 26 universities in 17 countries written by 15 authors www.tnlc.org/lcem 1 Dedication to the memory of a pioneering leader and champion of university civic engagement Professor Russel Botman, Former Rector and Vice-Chancellor of Stellenbosch University “Africa needs a new generation of responsible leaders who will be willing to place the public good before self-interest.” Professor Botman is one of the pioneers of higher education transformation in South Africa. His legacy speaks of Hope, not as goodwill sentiment, but as a palpable directive for efforts in teaching and learning, community engagement and research. We will remember him for his commitment to promote innovation and inclusivity of an institution that can stand as an African and International beacon in Higher Education. Professor Botman displayed courage, patience and determination in seeking solutions to many of his university’s most difficult challenges. Botman was born in Bloemfontein on October 18 1953. In 1976, the year of the Soweto uprising, he led his fellow students in human rights protests against apartheid laws. He was ordained in 1982, he served as minister of religion of the Wynberg congregation of the Dutch Reformed Mission Church from 1982 to 1993. In 1994, he joined the University of Western Cape as a senior lecturer in practical theology. Botman was promoted to associate professor and dean of the faculty of religion and theology in 1999. In 2000, he joined Stellenbosch University as a professor in missiology and public theology. He became vice-rector for teaching at Stellenbosch University in 2002 and served in that position until his historic appointment as the institution’s first black rector and vice-chancellor in 2007.
