Iowa Dispatch – June 13, 2022
Who’s running for Iowa’s Senate seat in 2022?
Grassley, 88, announced in September that he will run for an eighth term in the U.S. Senate. If he wins in 2022, he will be 95 years old at the conclusion of that term. He was endorsed by former President Donald Trump last fall.
Retired U.S. Navy Adm. Mike Franken, 64, won the Democratic Senate primary. Franken said his nearly four decades of military service and rural Iowa roots would help him win over independents and some moderate Republicans in his campaign against Grassley.
Grassley has served as Iowa’s senator for over four decades. While The Des Moines Register/Mediacom’s March Iowa Poll showed declining support, election forecasters still predict he has good chances of winning again.
Franken comes into the general election with more than $250,000 cash on hand. He raised more than $2.8 million during the primary election, according to campaign finance reports. Grassley’s campaign has more than $4.3 million. Both candidates have started campaign advertising, with Franken spending nearly $1.6 million in advertising in the lead-up to the primaries.
Sen. Joni Ernst, 51, will not be up for reelection until 2026.

Elections in Iowa |

The 2022 United States Senate election in Iowa was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Iowa. Incumbent Republican Senator Chuck Grassley defeated Democratic nominee Michael Franken to win re-election to an eighth term.[1]
Grassley was first elected in 1980 and was most recently re-elected in 2016. Grassley, who turned 89 years old on September 17, 2022, ran for reelection to an eighth term.[2] With U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy retiring the same year, he became the second-oldest person ever to be re-elected for another term (behind Strom Thurmond in 1996 at age 93), on January 3, 2023, upon the departure of Patrick Leahy from the United States Senate Chuck Grassley became the most senior member in the Senate, and on January 4, 2023, he became the longest-serving Republican senator in history (overtaking Orrin Hatch), as well as the most senior member of Congress since January 3, 2023.
Despite his victory, this was Grassley's closest Senate race since he was first elected in 1980 and the first election since that time in which he did not crack 60% of the vote. Franken also beat Grassley in Linn, Story, and Polk counties, all of which Grassley had won in every election since 1986. In addition, this election was the first time that Grassley lost Black Hawk County. This election also sought the Class III seat's worst performance by a Republican since 1962, and best performance by a Democrat since 1980.
