Sarah Trone Garriott Wins Iowa Senate Race After Recount

Democratic incumbent Sarah Trone Garriott has officially retained her seat in the Iowa Senate District 14 race against Republican Mark Hanson following a recount, with her final margin of victory being 29 votes. The Dallas County Auditor confirmed the recount results, which showed Trone Garriott receiving a total of 20,467 votes to Hanson's 20,438, alongside 59 write-in votes. Trone Garriott has declared victory and expressed gratitude to her supporters, while Hanson has not yet conceded and awaits an official review. Meanwhile, recounts in other Iowa races continue, including a tight congressional race where Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks leads Democrat Christina Bohannan by just over 800 votes. The certified results for these races were confirmed earlier this month, but recounts have been requested by Bohannan. Local officials will finalize and canvass the results at the upcoming Dallas County Board of Supervisors meeting.
