Cass County Republican Party Chair David Wiederstein reports Tom Moore, from Griswold, won a vote taken Tuesday night during a Special Nominating Convention for House District 21. The event took place at the Corning Opera House, in Corning. The Iowa House District 21 seat was left vacant by the death of State Rep. Jack Drake of Griswold. Moore was among six Republican’s seeking the nomination during the convention.

On Dec. 8th, Moore will face the Democrat who is selected during Thursday’s Democratic Party Nominating Convention in Massena. That event will take place beginning at 6-p.m., at the Massena Public Library. At last report, the lone Democratic candidate was Tim Ennis, of Corning, vice chairman of the Adams County Democrats.

Delegates eligible for both conventions are the precinct committee members from Iowa House District 21 elected at the 2014 precinct caucuses or those elected by their county central committee after the caucuses.

House District 21 covers portions of Pottawattamie and Cass Counties and all of Adams and Union Counties.
