(Manilla, IA) — A western Iowa farmer who announced in late May that he planned to run for the U.S. Senate in 2022 has ended his campaign. Dave Muhlbauer of Manilla is a former Crawford County Supervisor. His father and grandfather were state legislators. Muhlbauer’s nephew died in an accident earlier this year and Muhlbauer says the tragedy has had a devasting effect on his family. Muhlbauer says after a period of reflection with his family and close friends, he’s decided he cannot continue his campaign for the U-S Senate. Muhlbauer was the first Democrat to announce they hoped to challenge Republican Chuck Grassley’s bid for an eighth term in the U.S. Senate.
