Former Charles City Teacher, Grad Square Off for Iowa House District 58 

The race for the new Iowa House District 58 pits a Charles City graduate versus a former Charles City teacher on Tuesday.

The new district includes all of Chickasaw County, the majority of Floyd County including Charles City, and the eastern two-thirds of Bremer County east of, but not including, Waverly. 

Former Charles City teacher and longtime Floyd County resident Dené Lundberg is running for the post on the Democratic side. She will be opposed on the ballot by Republican Charley Thomson, a 1978 CCHS graduate who works as Assistant General Counsel for the DoAll Company of Illinois while residing in Charles City.

Lundberg was not on the ballot for the June Primary and was nominated at a Democratic special convention for the district in July. 

Thomson won the Republican nomination in June after getting almost 55% of the votes to beat Jim Wright of Sumner and Sean Galleger of Fairbank.
