2022 will be Ken Rozenboom’s last year in the Iowa Senate.  The Republican from Oskaloosa announced Wednesday (12/8) that he will not run for re-election next November.  Rozenboom says a big factor in his decision was the newly drawn legislative district map…which puts him in the same district as fellow Republican Adrian Dickey of Packwood.

“I’m losing about 75 percent of the people that I now represent. I’m losing four of the five counties that I now represent. While we had some population changes that we have..we do have to redistrict every ten years. That’s fair enough.  But I just don’t think the legislative districts should change so much.”

Rozenboom has served in the Iowa Senate since 2011.  He has worked on legislation to cut taxes and improve water quality.
