DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday that Democratic Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer qualifies for the primary ballot, rejecting a lower court decision and allowing her to continue her campaign for the nomination and the chance to face longtime Republican Sen. Charles Grassley.
The courts decision leaves Finkenauer as the likely front-runner in a race with two lesser-known candidates ahead of Iowas June 7 primary. The winner will run against Grassley, who is seeking an eighth term in the Senate.
This is a moment for all advocates for democracy Democrats, Republicans and Independents to celebrate the enduring strength of our democratic process and a reminder to never take it for granted, Finkenauer said in a statement.
