Des Moines Democrat Jackie Norris Drops U.S. Senate Bid
Des Moines Democrat Jackie Norris dropped her U.S. Senate bid on Thursday following backlash from her role in the hiring of former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts.
Norris, who chairs the Des Moines Public Schools Board of Education, received backlash from Republicans around the state and the nation following Roberts’ arrest on Sept. 26, which revealed he had been without work authorization since 2020 and received a deportation order in 2024.
“The most important thing to me is that Iowa elects a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate,”
Norris announced Thursday she would suspend her campaign to focus more of her attention on the Des Moines school board, which is facing backlash and investigations from state lawmakers and the state auditor’s office.
