Roxanne Conlin

Last updated

In October 2009, she announced she was running in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in 2010 against Bob Krause and Tom Fiegen. In the primary, she was criticized for being unwilling to debate her primary opponents. [3] Conlin later criticized her Republican opponent in the general election for his unwillingness to debate her. [4] During the primary campaign, Conlin also faced criticism for avoiding questions about her stance on platform issues. Questioned in an April 28 live chat, sponsored by GazetteOnline.com, about disagreements with the Democratic party platform, Conlin answered she could not know the party platform because it would not be adopted until June 2010. When it was pointed out that the current party platform was ratified at the 2008 state convention and is the party platform until superseded, she had no response. [5] [6] [ failed verification ]

Conlin later lost the November 2010 general election against six-term Republican incumbent Chuck Grassley. [7]
