Elections in Iowa |
---|
The 1994 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1994 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in half of the state senate's districts—the 25 odd-numbered state senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate, with half of the seats up for election each cycle. A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the year 1994 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The primary election on June 7, 1994 determined which candidates appeared on the November 8, 1994 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained here.[1] General election results can be obtained here.[2]
Following the previous election in 1992, Democrats had control of the Iowa state Senate with 27 seats to Republicans' 23 seats.
To take control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to net 3 Senate seats.
Democrats kept their control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1994 general election with the balance of power unchanged--Democrats holding 27 seats and Republicans having 23 seats after the election.
