• Dale Bolsinger, Republican candidate for Iowa House, District 56: Nomination petitions rejected, challenge upheld.
• Ron Corbett, Republican candidate for Governor: Nomination petitions rejected, challenge upheld.
• Theresa Greenfield, Democratic candidate for U.S. House, District 3: Challenge was to candidate’s nomination petitions which had already been rejected, so challenge was dismissed.
