Statewide Iowa — A western Iowa farmer whose father and grandfather were state legislators is running for the U.S. Senate in 2022.
Thirty-seven-year-old Dave Muhlbauer of Manilla released a video to make the announcement.
Muhlbauer is a former Crawford County supervisor who raises cattle and hogs on a farm near Manilla. Muhlbauer says he’s running in part, because he realized it’s now or never after his father, Dan, died last October. Muhlbauer plans to campaign in nine Iowa cities in the coming days. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has said he’ll announce this fall whether he will seek reelection to an eighth term.
