DES MOINES -- In response to the results of the special election in Senate District 41, Republican Party of Iowa Co-Chair Linda Upmeyer issued the following statement:

"This special election showed us that nothing will stop Iowans from making their voices heard, not even more than 12 inches of snow. Senator-elect Adrian Dickey is a leader who is deeply involved in his community and will be a great addition to our Republican majority in the Iowa Senate. It's abundantly clear, voters support the GOP agenda of getting students safely back in school, keeping Iowa open for business and responsible budgeting that put Iowa taxpayers first."
