Democrat Rob Sand has chosen a county supervisor from western Iowa as his running mate in the race for governor.
Dave Muhlbauer is the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor.
Muhlbauer is a farmer and raises cattle near the town of Manilla. He’s also a two-term supervisor in Crawford County. His father and grandfather both served as county supervisors and in the state legislature.
Muhlbauer said in a statement the campaign with Sand will be about “public service, not politics.”
Muhlbauer previously ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. Senate seat.
Sand and Muhlbauer are running against Republican nominee Zach Lahn, who is expected to announce his own running mate soon.
