1914 Iowa Senate election

A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1914 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 1, 1914, determined which candidates appeared on the November 3, 1914 general election ballot.

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 32 seats to Democrats' 18 seats.

To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 8 Senate seats.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1914 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 35 seats and Democrats having 15 seats (a net gain of 3 seats for Republicans).
