Ask The Answer Person: Where can I get information about all the candidates for U.S. Senate?

Lowell e-mails: "Is there a website that provides information about all of the Democratic contenders for the US Senate?"

The Answer Person says: "There are several websites which have information about political races in Iowa.  We'd recommend this one.

However, the websites are only as good as the information they are supplied with.  For instance, did you know there is a Republican running against Joni Ernst for U.S. Senate?  Unfortunately, Paul Rieck from Clinton County (pictured) hasn't supplied Ballotpedia with any information about his campaign.  Most other candidates for office have sent Ballotpedia some background information, so click on the link and see what you can learn!"
