Another Republican candidate has announced intentions to run for an Iowa Senate seat in District 12, which covers a section of southwest Iowa. Margaret Stoldorf, of Red Oak, will be on the ballot for the December 30th special election. Stoldorf is running for the seat that was held by U.S. Sen.-Elect Joni Ernst, who has formally submitted her resignation from the Iowa Senate.

Stoldorf was a member of the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, a corporate executive, a small business owner and served as manager of her family’s farm, in addition to working in law enforcement. She currently serves as the Montgomery County Republican chair, 3rd District Republican Executive Committee chair and is a co-founder and leader of IGOP, a coalition of local Republican organizations.

In addition to Stoldorf, farmer Seth Watkins of Clarinda, Fremont County Supervisor Cara Marker-Morgan and State Rep. Mark Costello are vying for Ernst’s seat.
