Bruce Braley's Senate bid hurting Dems in Iowa House race vs Joni Ernst
..
The election will fill the Senate seat currently held by Tom Harkin (D). Harkin was first elected in 1984. On January 26, 2013, Harkin announced that he would not seek re-election once his current term expires. Upon his retirement, he will have served in the U.S. Senate for 30 years. He said of his retirement, "I have mixed feelings. You know what, it's somebody else's turn. To walk away from this position and this power is not an easy thing. But I think it's the right thing."[3] Rep. Bruce Braley (D) is the Democratic candidate for the general election. He will face against Republican nominee Joni Ernst (R).
