He’s changed his mind.  State Senator Ken Rozenboom of Oskaloosa now says he’s going to run for re-election.  This after he announced in December that he would retire at the end of the year.  In a statement released Wednesday (2/16), Rozenboom said he would move to the new Senate District 19, saying “After discussions with my wife and family, I simply cannot shake the calling to continue my service to the state of Iowa.”

Back in December, Rozenboom announced his retirement, after redistricting put him in the same district as fellow Republican Adrian Dickey of Packwood.  Senate District 19, where Rozenboom will move, includes all of Jasper County and part of Mahaska and Marion Counties.
