Tom Harkin

The 2008 United States Senate election in Iowa was held on November 4, 2008. Incumbent Democratic United States Senator Tom Harkin sought re-election to a fifth term in the United States Senate. Unlike all of Harkin's previous bids for re-election, he was not challenged by a sitting United States Congressman this year, instead facing small businessman Christopher Reed, who won the Republican primary by just a few hundred votes.
