1922 Iowa Senate election

The 1922 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1922 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 21 of the state senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate.

A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1922 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 5, 1922 determined which candidates appeared on the November 7, 1922 general election ballot.

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 48 seats to Democrats' 2 seats.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1922 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 47 seats and Democrats having 3 seats (a net gain of 1 seat for Democrats). The death of Republican Senator D. C. Chase of district 37 necessitated a special election on March 31, 1923. Democrat William Schmedika went on to win that special election, flipping the seat to Democrats and increasing Democrats' seats to 4 in 1923.
