Republican Governor Kim Reynolds celebrates her election as Iowa's first female governor in Des Moines on 11/6/2018.

Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds has been elected to her first full term in the job last night. She narrowly defeated Democrat Fred Hubbell by three percentage points. In the state legislature, Republicans retained control of both the Senate and the House. But Democrats had some highlights Tuesday night.  The party now holds three out of four U-S House districts in the state. IPR’s Clay Masters speaks with University of Northern Iowa Political Science Professor Chris Larimer about what the results might indicate about Iowa.
