(Des Moines, IA) There are two statewide races in today’s Primary Election for Iowa’s U-S Senate seat. Three candidates are competing in the Democratic Primary — and in the Republican Primary, Jim Carlin is challenging incumbent Chuck Grassley who’s seeking an eighth term. Carlin is an attorney and a state senator from Sioux City. According to the most recent campaign filing, Carlin raised over half a million dollars for his campaign and had about 56 hundred left in mid-May. Carlin says too many politicians care more about power than about representing their constituents.
