DES MOINES, Iowa - Few states have changed politically with the head-snapping speed of Iowa. “We won a number of legislative challenge races against incumbent Republicans,” veteran Iowa Democratic campaign consultant Jeff Link said. However, last year, long-held Republican Iowa House districts in Des Moines’ western suburbs fell to Democrats. There are also signs Iowa Democrats have shaken some of the apathy that helped Trump and hobbled Clinton in Iowa in 2016. “The trend was down, across the board,“ said Ann Selzer, who has conducted The Des Moines Register’s Iowa Poll for more than 25 years.
