From the Iowa Independent:

Eight-term Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller is in danger of losing in November, at least according to political handicapper Louis Jacobson, who lists the race as a “toss up.”

As a part of his Attorneys General Race Ratings for Governing magazine, the race between Miller and former U.S. Rep. Steve King’s chief of staff Brenna Findley is considered too close to call. In addition to her aggressive campaigning and increased favorability toward Republican candidates nationwide, Findley may also capitalize on the Iowa egg recall that has caught national headlines recently. As The Iowa Independent reported last week, Findley pressured Miller to return a $10,000 campaign donation from the son of the embattled company owner, which Miller did.

Findley has posted huge fundraising numbers, showing nearly $165,000 cash on hand as of the last filing period in July. And she’s picked up major endorsements from the conservative community, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum.
