Pottawattamie County Doctor is 3rd Democratic Candidate for US Senate

By Mandy Billings Jul 29, 2021 | 3:52 PM

(Minden, IA) — A western Iowa doctor and city councilman is running for the Democratic U-S Senate nomination next year. Glenn Hurst of Minden announced his candidacy today (Thursday) for U-S Senator Chuck Grassley’s seat. The 87-year-old Iowa Republican hasn’t decided whether to run for another six-year term. Hurst says the impact of health care on his community is a driving force behind his run. He said in a statement that “Iowans deserve better. We deserve Medicare for All.” Hurst is the third Democrat seeking the 2022 U-S Senate nomination. Former Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer and Crawford County farmer Dave Muhlbauer also hope to win Grassley’s seat.
