A Republican from Mills County was selected during a Special Election held Tuesday in southwest Iowa, to fill a legislative seat formerly held by Mark Costello. The Daily NonPareil reports David Sieck, from Glenwood, was elected to Iowa House 23rd District over Steve Adams, a Democrat from Red Oak. Sieck takes over a seat in the statehouse held by Mark Costello, who won a special election Dec. 30 for Iowa Senate District 12, which was held by now U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst. The House District includes Mills and Fremont counties, plus two-thirds of Montgomery County.
Sieck, a farmer, sought Ernst’s Senate seat but lost to Costello for the nomination. In Montgomery County, Sieck garnered 267 votes to Adams’ 230. In Fremont County, Sieck received 204 votes, while Adams received 64 votes. In Mills County, Sieck had 387 votes to Adams’ 67 votes with seven of 10 precincts reporting late Tuesday.
