RED OAK, Iowa (AP) – A Republican candidate for Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat is launching her campaign with a six-city tour. State Sen. Joni Ernst announced last week she would seek the GOP nomination for the Senate seat held for decades by Democrat Tom Harkin, who decided not to seek re-election.
The 43-year-old Ernst will start her initial campaign trip Wednesday morning at the Montgomery County Courthouse, in her hometown of Red Oak. She’ll continue with stops Wednesday and Thursday in Waukee, Council Bluffs, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City and Davenport.
Other Republicans seeking the nomination include former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker, Sioux City talk show host Sam Clovis, attorney Paul Lunde and David Young, a former aide to Sen. Chuck Grassley. On the Democratic side U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley is his party’s only candidate.
Sheriff’s officials in Adams County report an Atlantic man was arrested Monday night on a drug charge. 22-year old Joshua D. Peters was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, following a traffic stop on Highway 148 at around 10:40-p.m., Monday. During the stop, the Adams County K-9 was deployed and alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle.
Peters, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia. He was brought to the Adams County Jail in Corning, and later posted a $300 bond.
Two people were injured Monday afternoon during a crash on the southwest side of Shenandoah. According to the Iowa State Patrol, the drivers of the vehicles, 61-year old Marthelia Janeen Harper, of Westboro, MO, and 50-year old Teresa Lynn Isenhower-Moyer, of Essex, were transported to the hospital. Harper, who was not wearing a seat belt, was flown by Mercy 1 helicopter to Creighton University Hospital in Omaha. Isenhower-Moyer was belted-in to her vehicle. She was taken by ambulance to the Shenandoah Hospital.
The crash happened at around 3-p.m.at the intersection of Highways 2 and 59. Officials say a 1996 Mazda MX-6 driven by Harper was traveling south on Highway 59, while a 2003 Nissan Maxima driven by Isenhower-Moyer was traveling north on Highway 59. The Mazda turned left at the intersection to proceed east on Highway 2, when it was hit by the Nissan on the right front side. The impact caused the Mazda to spin counter-clockwise before coming to rest on the northbound lane of Highway 59. The Nissan came to rest in the northeast ditch.
The Patrol says charges are pending completion of an investigation into the accident.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A new study says that 3 percent of Iowa children do not have health insurance, one of the lowest rates in the nation that could nonetheless be improved. The University of Iowa’s Public Policy Center says it conducted a telephone and Internet survey in 2010 and 2011 that concluded the rate of uninsured children was roughly unchanged from five years earlier.
The study says that most of the uninsured children come from families that would be eligible for existing government programs such as Medicaid and hawk-i. Its authors are calling for continued outreach to get them enrolled and are holding a webinar to discuss the report today (Tuesday).
The report notes parents will have incentives to get their children insured under the Affordable Care Act, which mandates that individuals obtain insurance.
