Iowans for Tax Relief recently announced that it was backing a primary
candidate against incumbent Republican Clarence Hoffman in the
Republican primary in State House District 55 (Ida County and parts of
Crawford, Monona and Woodbury County). Hoffman is a fifth term
Representative who crossed party lines to support the bill banning
discrimination based on sexual orientation. This is the second time
Iowans for Tax Relief has backed a primary candidate against an
incumbent Republican so far for the 2008 cycle. The first State
Representative that they tried to primary, Walt Tomenga in House
District 69 (Johnston and Grimes) has since announced his retirement.
