__NOINDEX__

*The names don't match up throughout the example, because it was created as a compilation of the information available at Jeff Smith (Iowa politician), Megan Hess, and Dan Huseman.
 * The categories are enclosed in nowiki tags that will have to be removed.
 * The date tag shows errors here because it has yy-mm-dd in it, not numbers - it works fine when actual numbers are used.
 * Official images have been uploaded for all politicians since the 79th GA. They can be found in commons:Category:Official Portraits of Members of the Iowa House of Representatives - please use the one from the most recent GA available.
 * The stub tag is for articles that are as short as this example: if the articles are significantly longer, it should be removed.
 * Note to self: go back through and check whether they had previously contested an election; check whether their opponents previously won election. Also link "ranking member".
 * Check nominations other than by primaries, such as Muhlbauer, for the general election as well as nominations for special elections.
