![]() |
The 1958 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1958 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 22 of the state senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate.
A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the year 1958 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The primary election on June 2, 1958 determined which candidates appeared on the November 4, 1958 general election ballot. [1] [2]
Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa state Senate with 40 seats to Democrats' 10 seats.
To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 16 Senate seats.
Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1958 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 33 seats and Democrats having 17 seats (a net gain of 7 seats for Democrats).
