Admittedly, Iowa is not home to this year's top state legislative races. However, Democrats have a chance to break the GOP supermajority in the Senate (the current 34 out of 50 seats allows Republicans to confirm all of Governor Kim Reynolds' nominees with no Democratic support).
I profiled eleven Iowa Senate races to watch. For each district:
Just a note on the possibility of a tie in either AZ state legislative body: Not only is there no tiebreaker by the Lt. Gov, which isn't changing when the state gets one, per the constitution no legislation can be passed without a majority of each body. You need 16 minimum votes in the Senate and 31 minimum votes in the House to pass anything.
In AZ, SD17 is an open seat race in 2024, the incumbent MAGA Republican (Justine Wadsack) lost her primary to another cR-AZy (Vince Leach). Unfortunately despite Leach also being crazy he has a better rep with the electorate than the very damaged Wadsack and the open seat here probably hurts us this cycle.

Thanks for the catch! Fixed!
