If Iowa Democrats are going to capture another seat in the house in 2008, in all likelihood it will be in the 4th district. Though Steve King (5th district) and Tom Latham (4th district) received roughly the same proportion of the popular vote-- King with 58% and Latham with 57%-- there was a lot more support for the Democratic contender in district 4, where Seldon Spencer gathered in about 43% in the 4th district, than in the 5th district, where Joyce Shulte could only find support from 36%. Spencer has made it clear that he's not going to run again, which begs the question-- who is?
Luckily, Century of the Common Iowan has generated a list of potential candidates. Among some notables from the Ames area that made the list are: state rep. and assistant Majority Leader Lisa Heddens and Story Co. Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald.
