When Iowa Senate Republicans and Democrats prepare for battle

Senate Republican leaders said they were optimistic about their chances this fall, when half the seats in the 50-member senate are up.

"I'm encouraged by our candidates," said Senate Republican Leader Bill Dix, of Shell Rock. "I think we have top-shelf people who want good government and want to make sure we're not spending more than we're taking in."

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, of Council Bluffs, said he expected Democrats would maintain the majority.

"Generally speaking if people found their way to the statehouse once, they can do it again," Gronstal said.
