From the Iowa Independent:
Earlier this year, Republican Brenna Findley struggled to outline the differences between herself and incumbent Attorney General Tom Miller. She called for a “new direction” in the attorney general’s office, but stopped short of calling for any specific reforms.
That’s changed. The attorney general race has taken a definite shape, with each candidate taking starkly opposing positions on a handful of controversial national issues, and on at least one recurring state issue.
Miller, an almost 30-year incumbent, has typically enjoyed easy victories. He was unopposed four years ago and earned almost twice as many votes as his Republican opponents in each of the two elections before that. Likely banking on another decisive win, Miller’s campaign so far has been almost entirely quiet.
