In the recent primaries, Iowa Democrats nominated Josh Turek for the open U.S. Senate seat and Rob Sand for governor. Turek, a two-time Paralympic gold medalist, won his primary by more than 25 points against Zach Wahls, who was seen as less electable. Turek's background includes a history of winning in Republican-leaning areas. He will face Republican Representative Ashley Hinson in the general election. Meanwhile, Sand, who has been nominated for governor, will compete against Zach Lahn, a conservative activist who recently gained traction in the GOP. The political landscape in Iowa is shifting, with both parties preparing for competitive races in the upcoming elections.
