A man who serves as the City of Council Bluffs’ Finance Director will announce his intentions this (Monday) morning to make a run for the Iowa Senate. Republican Art Hill will announce his candidacy for the Senate District 11 seat at a press conference set to begin 9:30-a.m. in Meeting Room D, at the Council Bluffs Public Library.

Hill is seeking the seat currently held by fellow Republican Hubert Houser, who is undecided on whether to seek re-election. Houser’s Senate seat is up for election in November 2014. District 11 includes Pottawattamie, Cass, Adams and Union counties.

Hill served as the finance director for Council Bluffs since 2008. He has previously held the position of business manager for the Lewis Central School District.
