Republican incumbent Clel Baudler defeated challenger Steve Roe last night to win the right to represent constituents in Iowa’s 20th House District for an impressive sixth term. Baudler says it’s always been an honor to serve Iowa, even prior to seeking public office, “to represent Iowans in the State Patrol and State Legislator for nearly 50 years, 48 years, has been a super honor. We have one of the States in the Country, because we have producers. These people produce food fiber for the rest of the Country.”

Spending virtually all of his life in Adair County, Baudler was born in Fontanelle, graduated from Fontanelle High School and currently resides in Greenfield with his wife of 53 years.
