- Race to take the place of Tom Harkin, the former democratic senator.
- Republicans are confident about the opportunity of grabbing this seat especially because of the lead they were able to grasp with Joni Ernst in June and her smart campaign about castrating pigs.
- Bruce Braley, a democrat, not yet adaptive to Iowans and how they live
- It stands that more people care about their farms more than social security and medicare.
- Gender plays a role in who will hold the upcoming seat in the senate.

Iowa is amongst some of the most republican states in America. Very rarely did Iowa ever elect a democratic senator. Tom Harkin the most recent democratic incumbent lost his seat to Joni Ernst a republican senator and the first female senator in Iowa and won the election by 52.2 percent.
Bruce Braley her opponent stood no chance against her due to his lack of knowledge on Iowans and how they operate. Also Joni Ernst had a capturing campaign called "Squeal." Squeal was covering the topic of the castrating of pigs which connects to the people living in Iowa. Iowans don't really have an immense care on situations such as Social Security or Medicare.

Questions
- Why would someone run for a seat, in this case Bruce Baley, not knowing much on the people your going to represent?
- Why in the past have Iowans elected Democrats if they are such a Republican state?
