1924 Iowa Senate election

The 1924 Iowa Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1924 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 29 of the senate's 50 districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa Senate.

A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1924 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 2, 1924, determined which candidates appeared on the November 4, 1924 general election ballot.

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 47 seats to Democrats' 3 seats. A special election in district 37 in 1923 saw the seat flip from Republican to Democratic control.

To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 22 Senate seats.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1924 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 45 seats and Democrats having 5 seats (a net gain of 1 seat for Democrats). In 1925, Senator Schmedika of the 37th district would switch his political party affiliation from Democrat to Independent.
