Read the record, not just the color. Abortion appears first in every candidate entry. Current pledges, historical votes and limited statements are labeled separately. No position is inferred from party affiliation.
Prior votes by candidates for auditor, treasurer or county supervisor do not mean those offices can repeal state abortion law. “Not verified” means an evidence gap, not neutrality. “No platform found” means no substantive published platform was located.

Court of Appeals Judges
Review trial-court decisions for legal error in cases transferred by the Iowa Supreme Court. Official role ↗
State income-tax voting requirement · vote Yes or No
A Yes vote would require approval from at least two-thirds of all elected members of each legislative chamber to increase state individual or corporate income-tax rates, increase other covered income- or reserve-based tax rates, or establish a new state tax on those bases.
A No vote rejects that constitutional requirement and preserves the existing legislative approval threshold.
The amendment excludes taxes imposed at a local government’s option. Challenges alleging improper enactment under this provision would have to be filed within one year.
It changes the legislative approval threshold. The practical tradeoff is requiring broader agreement for covered tax increases while reducing future legislatures’ flexibility to raise that revenue.
