In a reversal of a lower court decision, former Rep. Abby Finkenauer (D-Iowa) qualifies for the Democratic primary ballot, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday.
Why it matters: The unanimous ruling allows Finkenauer to continue her campaign for the Democratic nomination for the Iowa Senate seat and a chance to challenge longtime Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley.
Republicans had challenged Finkenauer's place on the ballot, claiming that she did not have enough valid signatures on her nominating petitions to qualify.
