SIOUX CENTER, Iowa – Jacob Hall, the founder and owner of The Iowa Standard, announced with a heavy heart on Friday that he is closing the independent Iowa media outlet after 8 years.
The site, which covered state politics, the Legislature, education, elections, and government ive point of view, grew into a significant presence with roughly 71,000 Facebook followers and millions of annual page views.
See His Full Statement Here: facebook.com/share/p/1E5Byc…
Hall launched it in late 2018 while still working in sports journalism, later going full-time to provide a perspective he felt was underrepresented in Iowa media. He regularly attended the Capitol during legislative sessions, livestreamed committee and subcommittee meetings, and published reporting and commentary that built a loyal readership among Iowans looking for that viewpoint.
The work demanded long hours and personal sacrifice, but Hall has described it as both a duty and a rewarding effort focused on traditional values and state-level issues. It marks the closing of a significant chapter in this corner of the media landscape that will be hard to replace.
In his announcement, Hall said a new professional opportunity will allow him to stay involved in work he cares about, while offering greater stability and security for his family, and that after careful consideration, he believes it is the right step.
He thanked readers who followed the site, shared stories, sent tips, or supported it financially, noting that their backing made the operation possible. All recurring contributions have been canceled. For those who want to continue tracking Iowa government activity, Hall pointed to LegisHawk, an app focused on bills, legislators, and legislative process.
If you ever sent Jacob Hall a tip, shared a lead, or helped The Iowa Standard write an article, that work is continuing here at Iowa First Media. Please send them to us now, and we’ll keep covering the stories and perspectives that matter in the state of Iowa.

NEW HARTFORD, Iowa – U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, 93, has rejected all calls from Iowa conservatives to resign before Republican Governor Kim Reynolds leaves office in January, which would have allowed her to appoint a successor rather than Democratic Governor-elect Rob Sand if ebilitating health complications in office.
Grassley’s office said Thursday that he is not resigning and remains committed to serving the remainder of the 6-year term voters gave him in 2022, which runs through early 2029. The pressure followed catastrophic midterm results for the Iowa GOP that led to major Democratic gains across the state.
Grassley himself had raised the succession issue in September, telling a Republican audience, “I don’t plan on dying in office, but if I did, I don’t want a Democratic governor choosing my successor.” Under Iowa law, the sitting governor has the authority to appoint a temporary replacement to a vacant U.S. Senate seat until the next general election. Once Sand takes office, that appointment power would rest with him if a vacancy occurs before the 2028 election.
Grassley has also maintained Federal Election Commission paperwork associated with a potential 2028 reelection bid, though he has said the filing is required for fundraising and does not mean he has decided to run.
He has repeatedly stated that he will wait until next year to decide whether to seek another term, citing his focus on the recent midterms and personal considerations about whether he can continue to do the job. At 93, he is the oldest current member of Congress, and would be 95 during the 2028 campaign and 101 by the end of another full term.
His office’s statement that he intends to serve out his current term leaves open the possibility that, should he leave office after Sand is sworn in and before the next election, the Democratic governor would name the interim replacement, and that replacement would likely be one who aligns with Sand himself, not Grassley.

URBANDALE, Iowa – Democrat Polk County District Associate Judge Lynn Poschner, 45, was arrested by Urbandale police on Wednesday, November 4, just 1 day after Iowans successfully voted to retain her for another six-year term, on felony charges of homicide by vehicle and serious September crash that killed one pedestrian and seriously injured another.
On September 25, around 9:15 PM, Poschner struck 2 people crossing 86th Street north of Aurora Avenue in her 2016 Honda CR-V. 60-year-old Urbandale resident Jasmira Kadic died from her injuries on October 28. The second pedestrian survived with serious injuries. Court complaints state Poschner told officers she looked down at her phone to adjust the audio just before the impact and did not see the pedestrians.
A forensic exam confirmed her phone screen was on and unlocked around the time of the collision. She was booked into the Polk County Jail, released on a $15,000 cash bond, and is now on leave with her juvenile cases reassigned.
The Iowa Attorney General’s Office is handling the prosecution because of potential conflicts with local prosecutors. Poschner, appointed to the bench in 2018 after private practice and degrees from the University of Northern Iowa and Drake Law School, won retention the night before with roughly 95,762 yes votes to 43,313 no votes.
For Democrats who spent the cycle arguing that public officials must be held to the highest standards of accountability, and that “no one is above the law,” Poschner’s situation is a sharp contradiction. Voters had no knowledge of the pending charges when they kept her on the bench, as the crash itself had already occurred weeks earlier.
The situation leaves her felony reckless-driving charges in the death of a local resident. The bigger political conversation about judicial integrity and what will happen to her, as Democratic claims of having superior ethics will soon be put to the test, while anonymous communities online continue to raise concerns about female drivers.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann is facing growing calls from the party’s base to resign after a disastrous 2026 midterm that saw Democrats seize the governor’s office, a U.S. Senate seat, 3 U.S. House seats, the attorney general’s office, and the auditor’s Republican majorities in the Legislature.
Kaufmann acknowledged the night as “disappointing” and pointed to remaining GOP control of the Legislature as a “red wall,” but that framing has done little to quiet anger over the scale of the losses.
Lahn entered the general election with Derek Wulf as his running mate, a choice Kaufmann publicly called “excellent” and a “valuable addition to the ticket.” Critics inside the party argue the ticket and the overall effort never fully united behind the nominee who had just beaten the establishment favorite Randy Feenstra.
Republicans have been very blunt in their assessments online. On Twitter, one user wrote that Kaufmann “fucked the state for the next four years” and told him to “get the fuck away from my party.” Another user said the loss was on Kaufmann “for sabotaging Zach’s campaign.” A third user said he “needs to be removed” because his “power hangover is done,” and urged Iowa Republicans to “unite against you in full force.”
A fourth user said he “completely sandbagged Zach Lahn” and claimed there was a plan for “Feenstra to lose so his kid Bobby can run in the next cycle.” The same post accused the Iowa GOP of “saddling Zach with Derek Wulf,” knowing he was a problematic candidate. A fifth said he’s just another “boomer who fucked things up again.”
Kaufmann’s long tenure, during which he helped build the Iowa GOP into the most dominant force it's ever been, delivering historic statewide and legislative victories in the process, has not shielded him from the fallout. The scale of the Republican collapse has still left him as the most visible target for those who believe the party’s leadership failed to adapt or fully back its own nominee when it mattered.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Republican Roby Smith defeated Democrat John Norwood on Tuesday to win a 2nd term as Iowa state treasurer, taking about 50.3% of the vote to Norwood’s 49.6%, and holding a lead of more than 10,000 votes with all counties reporting.
Smith, 48, of Davenport, ars in the Iowa Senate before unseating longtime Democrat Mike Fitzgerald in 2022. His office has earned more than $1 million per day on average from investments, a first for an Iowa treasurer, with more than $1 billion generated since 2023, and an all-time record of roughly $469 million in one recent fiscal year.
He has also returned record amounts of unclaimed property to Iowans, and worked to protect the state’s AAA credit rating. In a blue wave that flipped the governor’s office, a U.S. Senate seat, 3 U.S. House seats, the attorney general’s office, and the auditor’s office, Smith survived because he is a good candidate whose results on public funds convinced enough voters to stick with competence over change.
Norwood, a 62-year-old West Des Moines financial advisor and former Polk County soil and water commissioner, who previously ran unsuccessfully for agriculture secretary in 2022, failed to capitalize on the same blue wave. He emphasized investing more state dollars in local banks and credit unions, protecting IPERS from potential privatization or governance changes, and raising the office’s visibility on budget issues.
Despite traveling the state and drawing on decades of finance experience, he could not overcome Smith’s track record of strong returns and efficient management of taxpayer money. Critics point to his poor campaign for his failure, as his name recognition remained substantially lower than Smith’s, before, during, and after the race.
The result shows that even in a Democratic-leaning midterm, Iowa voters still reward a treasurer who delivers clear financial performance, rather than a challenger whose pitch stayed more generic, flat, and less results-driven.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Republican Mike Naig defeated Democrat Chris Jones on Tuesday to win a 3rd term as Iowa secretary of agriculture, taking about 52.7% of the vote to Jones’s 47.3% with all counties reporting.
Naig, 48, who grew up on a family farm and previously served as etary, has held the top job since 2018. He campaigned on expanding markets for Iowa products at home and abroad, and continuing incentive-based conservation work that has driven cover-crop acres from a few thousand to more than 4 million. Under his watch, the state passed the Farm-to-Faucet legislation directing hundreds of millions toward cover crops, buffers, and water treatment infrastructure.
In a blue wave that flipped the governor’s office, a U.S. Senate seat, 3 U.S. House seats, and the attorney general’s office, Naig held on because Iowa farmers and voters recognized he is doing a good job protecting the state’s largest industry amid headwinds, while making steady progress on water quality without punishing producers.
Jones, a controversial 65-year-old retired University of Iowa research scientist and author, framed the race as a referendum on water quality and demanded regulations, taxes on fall nitrogen, bans on fall tillage, and taxpayer-funded “off-ramps” to force farmers away from corn and soybeans.
He conceded Tuesday night after calling Iowa’s voluntary approach inadequate and accusing the farming community of driving pollution. Jones also lost in the blue wave because his campaign was overshadowed by controversy, with divisive attacks on Iowa farmers and a heavy-handed regulatory agenda never connected with the people who actually live and work in rural Iowa.
Naig’s win shows that an incentive-based record still carries weight even in a tough midterm, while Jones’s activist platform was rejected, even when Democrats were winning everywhere else.
The result keeps intelligent, experienced leadership in place for Iowa agriculture at a time when the state needs it most.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Democrat Taylor Wettach narrowly upset Republican Lt. Gov. Chris Cournoyer on Tuesday in the open race for Iowa state auditor, taking about 50.2% of the vote to Cournoyer’s 49.7%, and winning by roughly 5,000–6,500 votes.
The seat opened after scandal-ridden or and won governor. Wettach, a 36-year-old Muscatine trade and national security attorney, campaigned on continuing Sand’s independent watchdog role, restoring investigative powers limited by a 2023 law, rooting out waste and fraud, and using technology to sharpen audits.
Many claim that he was not the ideal choice, as he is a political newcomer with no prior elected experience, whose background is more corporate and federal than state fiscal oversight. However, he ended up proving he was the better candidate in a race where independence and credibility mattered.
Cournoyer, 55, of LeClaire, has served as lieutenant governor since late 2024 after stints as a state senator and school board member. She was supposed to have a good shot in this open seat given her statewide name recognition and position as second-in-command, yet she still blew it and lost, and many say she has nobody to blame for this but herself and her administration.
She ended up running a much weaker campaign with far less fundraising than Wettach, as she acted as if she already had the race won. In a tight contest during a blue wave, the lieutenant governor failed to convince enough Iowans she would prioritize taxpayer accountability over protecting the political team she came from.
The result keeps the auditor’s office in Democratic hands, though neither candidate fully inspired confidence that the state’s fiscal watchdog will operate free of partisan influence, especially not after Rob Sand’s controversial tenure.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott, a controversial West Des Moines Lutheran minister and Iowa state senator, defeated 2-term Republican incumbent Zach Nunn on Tuesday in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, taking about 53.7% of the vote to Nunn’s 46.3% with all The district had been held by Nunn since he flipped it from Democrat Cindy Axne in 2022. Trone Garriott, born in Minneapolis and educated at Harvard Divinity School and the Lutheran School of Theology before first moving to Iowa in 2013, previously worked as a hospital chaplain and interfaith coordinator before entering the state Senate in 2021.
Her campaign was largely characterized by her weeks spent running away from a debate with Nunn. Her campaign refused earlier dates and finally agreed to only 1 on October 27, well after early voting had already started. It became clear through these antics that she was the less intelligent candidate, as her record on healthcare, taxes, and social issues couldn’t really hold up under any scrutiny, especially her involvement in officiating a satanic wedding as a Christian pastor.
Despite being given a far-left opponent with major flaws on a silver platter, Zach Nunn historically blew it. He initially won the seat because of his better ideas on paper, but in practice, he delivered almost nothing that mattered to Iowa voters.
In spite of the better ideas and a willingness to debate, Nunn’s inability to turn any of his proposals into real results left the district with higher prices and little relief after 2 terms. It was evident that he felt as if he had already won the race, as he failed to call out Trone Garriott for being the far-left, progressive pastor she is, whose own beliefs would’ve been considered heresy just a few decades ago, and demonic just a century ago.
Trone Garriott will now vote with the Democrats on radical, anti-American legislation, while Nunn’s incompetence cost Iowa Republicans a district they should have held.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Republican Paul Pate defeated Democrat Ryan Peterman on Tuesday to win a 5th consecutive term as Iowa secretary of state, taking about 53.20% of the vote to Peterman’s 46.71% with all counties reporting.
Pate, 68, of Cedar Rapids, has held the office since erm in the 1990s, and he previously served as a state senator and mayor of Cedar Rapids while running his asphalt business.
He campaigned on his record of implementing online voter registration, supporting Iowa’s voter ID law, requiring paper ballots and post-election audits, improving business filings, and launching programs such as Safe at Home for crime victims and the Iowa Business Against Trafficking coalition.
In a blue wave that flipped the governor’s office, a U.S. Senate seat, 3 U.S. House seats, and the attorney general’s office, Pate was one of the few Republicans to hold on. He described the job as nonpartisan administration, saying he does not wear a team jersey and acts as the referee, which is exactly the kind of successful statesman who works across the aisle and appeals to voters outside his own base.
Peterman, a 35-year-old former Navy helicopter pilot from Davenport making his first run for office after serving as a legislative fellow for Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, never mounted a serious challenge. He criticized Pate for turning over voter registration data to the Department of Justice and argued for expanding the early-voting window and making voting easier overall, but he offered little beyond lackluster Democratic talking points on access and transparency.
In a year when national headwinds and local dissatisfaction hurt most Republicans, Pate still prevailed because Iowa voters recognized a longtime public servant who has focused on running fair and secure elections rather than partisan fights. Peterman’s 47% showing shows the strength of the blue wave, but it also shows why an actual statesman who builds trust beyond his party keeps winning.

Peterman, a 35-year-old former Navy helicopter pilot from Davenport making his first run for office after serving as a legislative fellow for Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, never mounted a serious challenge. He criticized Pate for turning over voter registration data to the Department of Justice and argued for expanding the early-voting window and making voting easier overall, but he offered little beyond lackluster Democratic talking points on access and transparency.
In a year when national headwinds and local dissatisfaction hurt most Republicans, Pate still prevailed because Iowa voters recognized a longtime public servant who has focused on running fair and secure elections rather than partisan fights. Peterman’s 47% showing shows the strength of the blue wave, but it also shows why an actual statesman who builds trust beyond his party keeps winning.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Democrat Nate Willems narrowly upset Republican incumbent Brenna Bird on Tuesday in the Iowa attorney general race, taking about 50.9% of the vote to Bird’s 49.1%, winning by roughly 23,700 votes in the process.
Bird, the first Republican to hold the office r she unseated longtime Democrat Tom Miller in 2022, conceded the race. Willems is a Mount Vernon labor and employment lawyer and former Iowa House member from 2009 to 2013, campaigning on shifting the office away from what he called “Washington politics.”
Willems is, by all means, a left-wing candidate, whose record and priorities revolve around unions, environmental enforcement, and using the attorney general’s office as a vehicle against businesses. Iowa is now stuck with that agenda for the next 4 years.
Many are pointing out that Bird did not run a strong campaign, despite accomplishing a fairly large amount during her time in office, which is why she lost a race she should have realistically won.
Critics of Bird cited light fines on agricultural and industrial polluters, and complaints that she focused too much on national partisan fights that did not entirely relate to Iowa voters in a tough midterm.
It is evident that she failed to defend, or make note of, her own record, and she also failed to expand her appeal beyond the core base. The result is a left-wing attorney general at a time when the state already faces higher costs and tighter margins for farmers and employers, which historically has never been the correct answer.
An attorney general’s decisions can have a profound impact on the lives of ordinary Iowans. To trust a left-wing Democrat not to exercise that power too aggressively is almost dangerous, as they are known throughout the country for taking a biased, ideological approach to almost everything they do, especially in regard to crime.
Many Iowans are understandably concerned about what lies ahead.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Republican Chris McGowan defeated Democrat Dave Dawson on Tuesday to win and hold Iowa’s open 4th Congressional District, taking about 59.1% of the vote (178,845) to Dawson’s 40.9% (123,940).
The seat was previously held by Randy Feenstra, who decided not to pursue a failed governor campaign. McGowan, a Sioux City Air National Guard veteran and longtime president of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, ran on securing the border, supporting ICE, protecting farmers and landowners, cutting taxes and federal spending, and defending faith, family, and constitutional freedoms.
Trump endorsed him, and he is the only Republican who kept a U.S. House seat for Iowa this cycle. Western Iowa is deep red territory, and many consider it “God’s country.” The voters there did not fail to deliver a clear win for a candidate who understands the values of the district the best.
Dawson, a former state representative and Woodbury County prosecutor from Lawton, never had a real chance. He campaigned on a basic Democratic agenda that is extremely unpopular in a region that has elected Republicans solidly for decades, and where Trump carried the district by more than 30 points in 2024.
McGowan’s win is refreshing for Republicans amid a collection of major losses, but even he still underperformed what he should have done in this territory. A 59% share in Iowa’s most conservative district is relatively low. Feenstra and other Republicans routinely ran closer to the high 60s or better when the national environment was less hostile.
McGowan will head to a Democratic-controlled House as the lone Iowa Republican, and he will need to work harder and smarter than an 18-point victor in an R+40 district if he wants to deliver real change for western Iowa.

DUBUQUE, Iowa – Democrat Lindsay James, a controversial Dubuque Presbyterian minister who has sat in the Iowa House since 2019, narrowly upset Republican Joe Mitchell on Tuesday for the open seat in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, taking about 49.5% of the vote (171,484) to 22), with Libertarian Rick Stewart and independent Dave Bushaw splitting the rest.
The northeast Iowa district had been held by Ashley Hinson before she ran for Senate. James, who was born in Portland, Oregon and moved to Iowa for the first time in 2015, holds a communications degree from Santa Clara and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary.
Many believed her to be an exceptionally weak candidate, who relied mostly on hollow rhetoric about morality and offered recycled progressive talking points that many northeastern Iowans were completely unfamiliar with. It is evident that her victory is owed much more to the national political environment than her own actions as a candidate.
Many Iowa voters predicted Joe Mitchell would win, as he had strong, vocal support from regular citizens who believed he was the better candidate. He was the youngest person ever elected to the Iowa House at age 21, would’ve been the only Republican in the U.S. House to reject corporate PAC money while putting America First agenda into practice on Capitol Hill.
Instead, voters got a far-left, liberal pastor, who is arguably heretical to begin with, who will vote the national Democratic line, while the district loses a young, intelligent lifelong Iowan man who actually understood the problems on the ground.
Her election sent a message across the state that familiarity with Iowa and its communities is not a prerequisite for winning an election here. Now, the responsibility of representing them begins. Time will tell what kind of tenure Iowans can expect.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Christina Bohannan, a University of Iowa law professor and former 1-term state representative from Iowa City, finally defeated 3-term Republican incumbent Mariannette Miller-Meeks on Tuesday in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, taking roughly 52.9% of the vote er-Meeks’ 43.4% (around 150,500) with independent Michael Bridgford drawing 3.6%.
This was their third straight matchup after Bohannan lost by roughly 20,000 votes in 2022 and just 799 in 2024. The southeast Iowa district had been competitive for years, but national headwinds against the Iran war and rising costs carried Bohannan across the finish line.
Bohannan ran on usual Democratic priorities despite being arguable the most radical left-wing candidate in the state. Her main credentials include teaching constitutional law, and losing twice before the broader political environment eventually bailed her out.
Despite this, Miller-Meeks’ campaign failed miserably at developing a counter-attack, despite having plenty of ammunition to use against her. The doctor, Army veteran, and former state senator who first won the seat by 6 votes in 2020, could not hold it as an incumbent despite previously scraping by.
Republican leadership’s main super PAC pulled millions in advertising from her race in mid-October and redirected the money elsewhere, effectively writing her off weeks before Election Day.
Miller-Meeks spent her time tying herself to the same RINO agenda that many other Iowa Republicans aligned with, and eventually was left with little to show for 6 years in Washington.
In the end, little was done to protect a seat Republicans needed. Miller-Meeks conceded that the results were disappointing, while Bohannan claimed Iowans wanted someone to “take on the billionaires,” a line that rings hollow from a party candidate who just elected one as the governor.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa – Democrat Josh Turek, a Council Bluffs state representative and 2-time Paralympic gold medalist in wheelchair basketball, upset Republican U.S. House Rep. Ashley Hinson on Tuesday to flip Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat, becoming the first Democratic win there 8.
With most precincts reporting, Turek took roughly 50.40% of the vote to Hinson’s 46.34%, with Libertarian Thomas Laehn around 3%. The 47-year-old, born with spina bifida and the first permanently disabled member of the Iowa Legislature after winning his 2022 House seat by 6 votes, ran as a “prairie populist” emphasizing affordability and bipartisanship.
In a state Trump carried by 13 points in 2024, the race was supposed to be an easy Republican hold for the seat Joni Ernst vacated. Instead, Turek’s upset helped Democrats seize Senate control. While he is still a Democrat who will vote with his party against the priorities Iowans just rejected in 2024, he proved himself to be the better candidate.
Hinson, a 3-term congresswoman and former TV anchor who entered as the heavy favorite with Trump’s endorsement, blew a race she was 100% supposed to win.
In a perfect embodiment of her out-of-touch campaign woes, she went on Fox News earlier on election day to brand able-bodied young men as lazy, saying Iowa taxpayers shouldn’t support those “sitting in their mom’s basement playing video games,” ignoring real racial and gender-based discrimination in the job market as 98% of jobs went purely to women in the recent August 2026 jobs report.
Watch the Full Video Here:
Hinson tried late pivots toward bipartisanship and ending the war, but only after voting to support it the entire time. It was too little, too late after months of tying herself to an unpopular RINO agenda in a state already feeling the pain.
Hinson conceded after her first political loss, while Turek told supporters the “impossible was possible.”

DES MOINES, Iowa – Iowa just handed the governor’s office to Democrat Rob Sand after he beat Republican Zach Lahn by roughly 11 points, taking approximately 55.49% of the vote compared to Lahn’s 44.51%, in a state Donald Trump carried by 13 points 2 years earlier.
Sand, the nly Democrat holding statewide office, becomes the first Democrat elected governor since Chet Culver in 2006, and ends more than a decade of Republican control of the office that Kim Reynolds left open by not running again.
He did it with record-breaking fundraising that topped $37 million this cycle, including roughly $11.5 million from his wife Christine and her Lauridsen family fortune, plus major checks from out-of-state donors such as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, George Soros’ son Jonathan Soros, along with millions from the Democratic Governors Association.
Zach Lahn conceded while telling supporters the fight to preserve Iowa’s culture, safe communities, and multi-generational farms was just beginning, and that they would see him again in 4 years, hinting that his time in Iowa politics is not yet finished.
Sand’s ran on a platform that undercuts the policies many Iowans just spent years supporting. He is now tasked with working with a Republican legislature, which is now roughly 56-44 in the House and 32-18 in the Senate after Democratic gains.
Sand’s win shows that out-of-state and family money can still buy a victory in a red state, but it also hands the veto pen and executive orders to a Democrat whose agenda runs against the voters who kept the legislature in GOP hands.
Iowa’s future is now loaded with plenty of uncertainty. Whether Iowans will come to regret this outcome remains to be seen. Only time will tell whether this decision serves Iowa well, or sets it back decades.
