Iowa State Senate special election today. It will probably be a GOP hold, but could show if Iowa Democrats have any fight in them.

I think 270toWin does a great job of showing results in special elections, just click on the news tab, and since itтАЩs today, it should at the top, or just under the Peters retirement article.

From RRH Elections: "IA-SD-35 is an R+7 (16/20) seat covering rural areas north of the Quad Cities around DeWitt, Clinton, and Maquoketa. Professional conservative activist Katie Whittington (R) should be a moderately strong favorite over school board member Mike Zimmer (D), but an upset could be a slight possibility if liberals are energized." https://rrhelections.com
