Redistricting Plan 2
Incumbent Legislators Paired in New Districts
Updated through November 5, 2002 General Election
Note: This page is no longer actively updated and represents events
between June 19, 2001 and November 5, 2002.
The list below indicates the districts in which incumbent legislators lived
on June 19, 2001, the date the redistricting plan was approved by the Iowa
Legislature. Legislators indicated by strikethrough did
not seek election to the same office and district. Legislators
indicated by bold opposed each other in the same district.
While nearly half of Iowa's state legislators were paired in redistricting,
some legislators chose to retire, move, or to seek other offices. Only two
two-incumbent contests remained in November 2002. In two Senate districts
(both of which included Johnson County precincts), Democratic and Republican
incumbents opposed each other in the general election. There was one
primary between two Democratic House incumbents in Lee County in the June 4 primary
election.
Three legislators - two Senators and one Representative - opposed each other
in the 5th District Republican congressional primary. The primary was
inconclusive as no candidate won the required 35 percent, and the nomination was
determined at a June 29, 2002 special convention.
