thing she did for me was

State Representative Julian Garrett was nominated
on the first ballot, to be the Republican nominee to
fill the vacancy in Senate District 13, in the special
election coming up on November 19. Senate District
13 contains all of Madison County and nearly all of
Warren County. The nominating convention was held
at the American Legion Hall in Indianola on October
17. Three other candidates were nominated.
In his speech to the group before the vote, Garrett
pointed out that he was just elected by a comfortable
margin in his House District that makes up half of
the district, a year ago. He told the group of his frus-
trations in passing good legislation in the House, only
to see the Senate not even take it up. He said that
Republicans must take control of the Senate to pass
meaningful income and property tax cuts, the photo
ID requirement for voting, pro life legislation, legis-
lation to strengthen "second amendment" rights and
the Marriage Amendment. He stated that he is run-
ning for the Senate because if the Republicans lose
this seat it will be very hard to gain a majority in the
Senate in the 2014 election.
Garrett concluded by asking those present to unite
fo win the special election. He pointed out that what-
ever differences of opinion Republicans might have,
they "pale in comparison to our differences with the
Democrats."
There were 30 precincts represented at the conven-
tion and therefore 30 votes were cast. Garrett had two
thirds of the total vote. The other candidates split the
other one third.
