(Radio Iowa) – A host of other races have been settled for the General Election ballot. Linn County Auditor Joel Miller is the Democratic Party’s nominee for Secretary of State. Miller will challenge Republican Paul Pate’s bid for a 4th term as the state’s top election official. Miller finished with about 72 percent of the vote. Clinton County Auditor Eric Van Lancken finished with about 28 percent.

A far closer contest between Republicans vying to run against Democratic State Auditor Rob Sand in November. Realtor Todd Halbur finished about two-and-a-half percent ahead of former state legislator Mary Ann Hanusa. It was a margin of about 39-hundred votes when about 96 percent of statewide votes had been tabulated.

None of Iowa’s four U.S. House members had opposition in Tuesday’s Primary and challengers were unopposed in three of the four congressional districts. Here are those fall match-ups: Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa will face Democrat Christina Bohannan of Iowa City. Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion will face Democrat Liz Mathis of Hiawatha and Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra of Hull will face Democrat Ryan Melton of Nevada.
