In the 1899 Iowa State Senate elections Iowa voters elected state senators in 31 of the state senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate.
A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1899 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The 1899 elections occurred before primary elections were established in Iowa by the Primary Election Law in 1907.[1] The general election took place on November 7, 1899.[2]
Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 39 seats to Democrats' 11 seats.
To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 15 Senate seats.
Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1899 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 35 seats and Democrats having 15 seats (a net gain of 4 seats for Democrats).
