DC:
Iowa’s first female governor will remain in office after defeating Democratic businessman Fred Hubbell in a close contest on Tuesday.
Kim Reynolds had 50 percent of the vote against her challenger, businessman Fred Hubbell, when the Associated Press called the race.
Reynolds has served as governor since May 2017, when she replaced Terry Branstad, who joined the Trump administration as ambassador to China.
Hubbell ran a campaign largely centered on reversing Branstad’s decision to privatize Iowa’s Medicaid system. Reynolds was lieutenant governor at the time. more here
