Polly Granzow, the Republican State Representative from House District
44, comprising Hardin County and most of Marshall County outside of
Marshalltown, is not running for re-election in 2008. This combined
with Larry McKibben's decision not to seek re-election in the Senate
District that includes all of Marshall and Hardin Counties, puts local
Republicans in a bind as Century for the Common Iowan notes. However,
it puts the State Republican Party into even bigger bind. So far, nine
Republican incumbents in the State House are not running for
re-election according to Iowa Independent.
