In a special election Tuesday, GOP candidate Jon Dunwell defeated Democrat Steve Mullan in Iowa\u2019s 29th District by getting almost 60 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jon flipped a seat held by Ds 4 decades. Iowans are resoundingly rejecting liberal policies coming from DC and influencing Dems in Iowa. IA GOP listens to their concerns and delivers on campaign promises. That&#8217;s why Iowans continue 2 grow our majority in the IA House <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IAPolitics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IAPolitics<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3SSS5rAynD\">https:\/\/t.co\/3SSS5rAynD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Speaker Pat Grassley (@PatGrassley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatGrassley\/status\/1448106816492158982?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the second legislative victory for the Republican Party this year after Republican Mike Bousselot won a House seat in September. The GOP will now widen its majority in the Iowa House to 60-40 after Dunwell\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cJohn is a defender of free speech and what I like most about John Dunwell is that he supports our Constitution. John\u2019s a fiscal conservative. He\u2019s willing to fight to hold the government in check. John is a great leader with innovative ideas.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Thad Nearmyer, chairman Jasper County GOP<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Party officials have praised this development. Iowa voters say Dunwell\u2019s victory reflects a broader trend of Americans walking away from the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-candidate-for-n-y-district-attorney-says-everything-is-on-the-line\/\">GOP Candidate For N.Y.
