at all levels. I believe Loebsack won his district but not by a substantial margin in 2014. Plus Ernst had a huge amount of outside money (Kochs and NRA). My guess is Dave may have done better but would probably have come up short.

As for 2020, my personal feeling is Loebsack wants to retire, period. We may hear some rumors in the next week or so, but my guess is that he is retiring.
