Elections in Iowa |
---|
The 1934 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1934 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 22 of the state senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate.
A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1934 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The primary election on June 4, 1934 determined which candidates appeared on the November 6, 1934 general election ballot.[2][3]
Following the previous election, Republicans and Democrats each held 25 seats. Lieutenant Governor Nelson Kraschel was a Democrat and wielded power as President of the Iowa Senate.[4] Following a special election in 1933 in district 45, Republicans flipped the forty-fifth district to their party. Therefore, on election day in November 1934, Republicans held 26 seats to Democrats' 24.
To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 2 Senate seats.
Democrats gained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1934 general election with the balance of power shifting to Democrats holding 28 seats and Republicans having 22 seats (a net gain of 4 seats for Democrats).
