(ABC 6 News) — Mason City businessman Doug Campbell is the Republican nominee for district 30 in the Iowa State Senate. 

At a special nomination convention held Monday, Campbell was nominated after earning a majority of voting delegates from the Cerro Gordo, Mitchell, Worth and Floyd county Republican parties. 

“He’s got a ton of integrity and knowledge,” said supporter Carey Umbarger of Lime Creek township. “I think he’s going to protect our rights in the 30^th Senate district, that’s why he earned my vote.” 

Campbell is a retired pharmacist and former Mason City School Board member. 

“Although Waylon Brown’s resignation was unexpected,” Campbell wrote in a campaign post, “I am honored and humbled to step up as your Republican nominee for Iowa Senate District 30,” adding that he would be a “relentless campaigner” for the district. 

Campbell faces Democrat Rich Lorrence of Mason City in the general election on Tuesday November 5, 2024.
