(Radio Iowa) – A state panel will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) to review challenges to the nominating documents submitted by two candidates running in the same northwest Iowa House district. The Republican from Onawa who’s currently serving in Iowa House District 13 is not seeking reelection at the end of his first term. Two Republicans announced they’re running in the district.

Noah Wieseler of Sioux City works in construction and property management. Travis Sitzmann of Le Mars is a risk control consultant for Travelers Insurance. Both are first time candidates. The Secretary of State’s office has announced there are challenges to the nominating petitions the two men submitted, but included no other details. Would-be candidates for governor were disqualified from primaries in 2014 and 2014 for failing to meet petition guidelines.

Candidates for Iowa House seat must submit petitions with the signatures of at least 50 eligible voters in the district. Recently, the three-member State Objection Panel has reviewed challenges related to the names and addresses of people who’ve signed petitions as well as whether a potential candidate’s name and the office they were seeking was listed on each page of petition signatures.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, Attorney General Brenna Bird — both Republicans — and Democrat Rob Sand, the state auditor, are the three members of the State Objection Panel. They’re scheduled to meet tomorrow at 10 a.m. to review the challenges to G-O-P candidates in House District 13. No Democrat filed to run in district.
