Northwest Iowa — A freshman State Representative from northwest Iowa has been named Vice Chair of a statehouse committee.
Representative-elect Dennis Bush of Cleghorn will serve as Vice Chair of the Iowa House Agriculture and Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee during the 89th Iowa General Assembly, according to House Speaker Pat Grassley.
Bush ran unopposed in the November general election for Iowa House District 3, after surviving a three-way race in the June primary, holding off fellow Republicans Lynn Evans of Aurelia and Mark McHugh of Sheldon. He’ll be taking the Iowa House seat formerly held by long-time legislator Dan Huseman, who is retiring from the legislature.
Iowa House District 3 covers Cherokee and O’Brien Counties, as well as parts of Sioux and Plymouth Counties.
Speaker Grassley, who is the grandson of U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, say Representative-Elect Bush understands the importance of conservative budgeting and will be a strong advocate for the hard-working taxpayers of Iowa. Grassley says he knows Bush will continue to ensure that Iowans’ agriculture priorities are funded in a responsible way.
The legislative session begins Monday, January 11, 2021.
