The 2000 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 2000 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in half of the state senate's districts--the 25 even-numbered state senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate, with half of the seats up for election each cycle. A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the year 2000 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The primary election on June 6, 2000 determined which candidates appeared on the November 7, 2000 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained here.[1] General election results can be obtained here.[2]

Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa state Senate with 30 seats to Democrats' 20 seats.

To reclaim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 6 Senate seats.

Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 2000 general election with the balance of power remaining unchanged with Republicans holding 30 seats and Democrats having 20 seats.

Summary of Results

  • NOTE: The 25 odd-numbered districts did not have elections in 2000 so they are not listed here.
