Previously taking the step of filing papers were state Sen. Randy Feenstra, R-Hull, and Brett Richards, of Irwin. In February, Feenstra touted the support 20 fellow lawmakers who have endorsed him on a walk to deliver his papers

Those who have not filed are nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve King, of Kiron, and Steve Reeder, of Arnolds Park.  One day before that, Richards was the first Republican to file.
