Mike McWilliams at the Iowa City Press-Citizen is reporting that Dave Loebsack defeated long-time Republican incumbent Jim Leach for Iowa’s 2nd congressional district.
The final numbers, unofficially, are 107,097 votes or 51% for Loebsack and 101,386 votes or 49% for Leach.
I’m glad that the political ad season is now officially over. Loebsack and Leach ran a very clean race though. The L.A. Times ran a great article about this race, entitled Iowa candidates accentuate positive, eliminate negative.
