The 1932 Iowa Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1932 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 30 of the Iowa Senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in Iowa.
A statewide map of the 50 state senate districts in the 1932 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The primary election on June 6, 1932 determined which candidates appeared on the November 8, 1932 general election ballot.[1][2]
Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 44 seats to Democrats' 6 seats, so to flip control of the chamber, the Democrats needed to net 20 Senate seats in these elections.
The Democrats gained control of the Senate following the 1932 general election, with the balance of power shifting to Republicans and Democrats having 25 seats each (a net gain of 19 seats for Democrats).[b] Lieutenant Governor of Iowa Nelson G. Kraschel was a Democrat and presided over the evenly-divided Iowa Senate following the election.[a]
By winning her election in the 23rd senatorial district during these elections, Carolyn Campbell Pendray became the first woman elected to the Iowa Senate. Previously, she had been the first woman elected to the Iowa House of Representatives as well.[c]
