Senate District 3
Registration: D 9410, R 16356, N 13160, total 38958, R +6946
Incumbent: Bill Anderson, R-Pierson; holdover seat
Anderson
won easily in 2010 when Ron Weick retired after being overthrown as
Senate GOP leader after one session. The new seat keeps south Sioux
City, but then wraps around the rest of the city to pick up most of
Plymouth County. As a result the seat gets a little more Republican.
House District 5
Registration: D 4134, R 9277, N 6954, total 20381, R +5143
Incumbent: Chuck Soderberg, R-Le Mars, unopposed
A
Democrat lost three to one in 2008, the last time Soderberg saw an
opponent. Soderberg loses more than 2000 Republicans in the new map, but
the seat is still solid red.

House District 6
Registration: D 5276, R 7079, N 6206, total 18577, R +1803
Incumbent: Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City, unopposed
House
freshman Jorgensen faced one of the highest profile primaries from
young conservative activist Matthew Ung, but won 56-44%. Ung seems like
to run for something again. Democrats made a game effort when the former
Chris Rants seat was open last cycle, but let it go this time.
Jorgensen gains a few rural townships and along with them a few hundred
Republicans.

District Of The Day Reboot: Iowa Senate District 3, Iowa House District 5 & 6
Senate District 3
Registration: D 10429, R 16740, N 15045, total 42245, R +6311
Incumbent: Bill Anderson, R-Pierson; holdover seat
This seat opened up in 2010 when Ron Weick retired after being overthrown as Senate GOP leader after just one session. Adding to the indignity, Weick's chosen successor was pushed out of the race by ex-King/Grassley staffer Bill Anderson, who went on to a relatively easy general election win in old district 27.
The old seat included the southern end of Sioux City and Sergeant Bluff as half the district, then went northeast to Cherokee County (the old Dan Huseman house seat). Anderson's new seat keeps south Sioux City, but then wraps around the rest of the city to pick up most of Plymouth County. As a result the seat gets a little more Republican. Anderson, who hasn't made many waves yet, holds over till 2014.

House District 5
Registration: D 4487, R 9324, N 7725, total 21552, R +4837
Incumbent: Chuck Soderberg, R-Le Mars
Soderberg, 53, first went to the house in 2004 from old district 3 when Ralph Klemme retired, with a solid primary win and no general election opponent. Soderberg got a 2008 challenge by self-starter Democrat T.J. Templeton, who wasted a little on-line money and lost by more than three to one. No one bothered in 2010, and no Democrats is bothering yet in 2012.
Soderberg loses southern Sioux County, and Orange City, to Dwayne Alons, and instead gets rural parts of north and west Woodbury. He loses more than 2000 Republicans as a result, but the seat is still solid red.

House District 6
Registration: D 5942, R 7416, N 7320, total 20693, R +1474
Incumbent: Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City - primary challenge
This was the Chris Rants seat till he left, with a brief run for governor, in 2010. Jorgensen took over old district 54, defeating `08 Rants opponent Carlos Venable-Ridley with relative ease. Jorgensen keeps roughly the same south chunk of Sioux City (the line moves a few blocks south in places) and gains a few rural townships and along with them a few hundred Republicans.
Primary challenger Matthew Ung of Sioux City is young, teapartyish, and writes letters to the editor in bulk. Unlikely... but should something weird happen, the seat is within reach for a Democrat. There isn't one yet.

District of the Day: Senate District 3, House District 5 and 6

Senate District 3
Registration: D 9848, R 15,607, N 13,790, total 39,274, R+ 5759
Incumbent: Bill Anderson, R-Pierson
It's a common theme in legislative politics: people who lose leadership fights tend to retire soon after. Sioux City Republican Ron Weick was Senate minority leader for one session in 2008, but got overthrown soon after the election by Paul McKinley.
Adding to the indignity, when Weick retired in 2010, his chosen successor was pushed out of the race by ex-King/Grassley staffer Bill Anderson, who went on to a relatively easy general election win in old district 27.
The old seat included the southern end of Sioux City and Sergeant Bluff as half the district, then went northeast to Cherokee County (the old Dan Huseman house seat). Anderson's new seat keeps south Sioux City, but then wraps around the rest of the city to pick up most of Plymouth County. As a result the seat gets a little more Republican.

Soderberg got a 2008 challenge by self-starter Democrat T.J. Templeton, who wasted a little on-line money and lost by more than three to one. No one bothered in 2010.
Soderberg (seen yesterday floor-managing the nuclear power plant bill) loses southern Sioux County, and Orange City, to Dwayne Alons, and instead gets rural parts of north and west Woodbury. He loses more than 2000 Republicans as a result, but the seat is still solid red.
House District 6
Registration: D 5422, R 6632, N 6369, total 18437, R+ 1210
Incumbent: Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City
What was I saying about overthrown legislative leaders stepping down? After Kraig Paulsen ousted Christopher Rants as Republican House leader, Rants left, with a brief stab at a run for governor on the way out.
Our first district that's basically urban, this was the Rants seat till last year when Jorgensen took over old district 54, defeating `08 Rants opponent Carlos Venable-Ridley with relative ease. Jorgensen, 53, keeps roughly the same south chunk of Sioux City (the line moves a few blocks south in places) and gains a few rural townships and along with them a few hundred Republicans.
