State Senator Ken Rozenboom has filed his paperwork to run for reelection in Senate District 40. Since 2013, he has represented Appanoose, Monroe, Mahaska, and parts of Wapello and Marion Counties. Currently, Senator Rozenboom is the chair of the Natural Resources Committee and the vice chair of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee.

One challenger has emerged thus far for Rozenboom’s seat, as Lance Roorda, the owner of Eunoia Counseling, announced in November that he intends to run against Rozenboom this year. Roorda is a Pella High School graduate living on his family farm near Leighton.

Candidates can file for Federal and State Offices through March 13th for the June 2nd primary elections.
