In Tama County voters broke the previous turnout record set in 2012 by nine votes. Overall a total 9,098 ballots were cast in Tama County with 3,993 of those coming in the form of absentee ballots.

The absentee counting board started processing the absentee votes on the Monday before the election and were done counting them by 5 pm on Election Day. This helped speed up the results on election night as there weren’t as many people voting at the polls. Tama County only had to consolidate two precincts due to a lack of workers because of COVID concerns and some were moved around from their usual precincts to fill in the gaps.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still active in Iowa, increased safety protocols were put in place including masks, face shields, sanitizer, floor markers for social distancing, disposable pens and privacy sleeves for the ballots.

“I am so proud of these workers and my staff for stepping up to this challenge,” Tama County Auditor Laura Kopsa said. “I would like to thank the citizens of Tama County for getting out there to vote and for respecting and participating in the extra safety measures we put in place.”

Tama County Supervisor Chairman Dan Anderson draws a name out of a hat to break the tie between two individuals who had the same number of write-in votes for the Soil & Water Conservation Commission election. Al Schafbuch of Dysart was the only name on the ballot the commission that was searching for three members to be voted on. Brian Benda of Toledo received the most write-in votes with 11 and was voted on the commission. Bill Heckt of Dysart and Brad Benda of Toledo each received four write-in votes with Heckt winning the tie breaker to join Schafbuch and Brian Benda as the commission members elected in 2020.

Election Analysis

At the top of the ticket in 2020, Tama County voters saw three incumbents running for their first re-election.

In each case, election results illustrated an advance forward for Republicans. President Donald Trump saw his vote share in Tama County increase from 56.8% in 2016 to 58.6% in 2020.

Senator Joni Ernst saw the largest swing of the three in the county, increasing upon her 2014 total of 52.8% up to 56.7% in 2020.

One key difference between the races in the middle of the last decade and the one which just occurred is the performance of third party candidates. In 2014, over 10% of the vote for Tom Harkin’s former U.S. Senate seat went to a third party in Tama County. This year, those not voting for Ernst or Democrat Theresa Greenfield only accounted for 3% of the vote.

U.S. Rep. Abby Finkenauer, a first term Democrat, came up short in Tama County two years ago by capturing only 44.2% of the vote.

Despite the loss in rural areas Finkenauer was still able to defeate GOP incumbent Rod Blum with victories in three of the states most populated counties (Linn, Black Hawk and Dubuque).

Finkenauer carried the same three counties in 2020 but lost in all 17 of her other counties by wider margins than 2018.

In Tama County, voters preferred Republican challenger Ashely Hinson who took 57.7% of the vote here in 2020 compared to Rod Blum who garnered only 51.3% of the vote in 2018.

At the state level, both Rep. Dean Fisher, R-Montour, and Sen. Jeff Edler, R-State Center, won re-election with decisive victories over their first-time challengers.

Edler saw the larger increase of the two in vote share, going from 56.5% in Tama County in 2016 to 60.3% in 2020.

Meanwhile, Fisher will enter his fifth term in the Iowa House next year after a win over Christina Blackcloud (D-Tama) earlier this month.

Fisher’s election trajectory in Tama County differs slightly from his Republican counterparts.

During his first run seeking to replace Rep. Lance Horbach, R-Tama, who retired from the Iowa House in 2012, Fisher wound up losing the vote in Tama County to challenger Nathan Wrage, D-Gladbrook, by 294 votes. He was able to make up the difference however in the counties bordering Tama to go on for a narrow victory.

Fisher flipped the script two years later however, winning over Ben Westphal, D-Marshalltown, by 3,120 votes overall. His win share in Tama County that year shot up 16 points to 64.2% of the vote.

Since 2014, Fisher’s totals in Tama County have remained steady, hovering round 57% to 58% of the vote against three different challengers.

Of the incumbents that retained their seats following the 2020 election, Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera, R-Traer, has been seated the longest.

Kucera won the Tama County Sheriff’s seat in 2000 with a victory over Dan Wilkens, D-Tama, by capturing 51.5% of the vote.

Since 2000, he has won re-election five times while running unopposed only once (2008). The closest race in any of Kucera’s re-election bids came in 2012 against Tama County Sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Ellenbecker, D-Tama.

Kucera won that race by 15 percentage points and has taken larger bites out of the margins ever since.

He again defeated Ellenbecker in 2016, this time by 26%, and finished 2020 with a landslide victory over first-time challenger Jeffrey Schrock, D-Toledo, by a margin of 40%.

Tama County voters again elected County Auditor Laura Kopsa, D-Tama, who has been at the post since first becoming appointed in 2006 when her predecessor John Adams left the office mid-term.

Kopsa has ran unopposed in each of her election bids since that time.

As Republican control increased in Tama County over the last decade, Kopsa and other Democrats at the county level have seen their vote totals steadily diminish, although very much at the micro level.

Kopsa’s vote percentage has dropped from 98.8% in 2008 to 97.8% in 2020.

Also at the county level, the two seats up for election in 2020 saw strides made by Republicans against two incumbent Democrats.

District 2 Supervisor Kendall Jordan, D-Toledo, first won election in 2008 with 53.9% of voters choosing him over Keith Sash, R-Gladbrook.

Jordan was unopposed in 2012 and again in 2016, but similar to Kopsa saw a slight dip in his vote percentage across that period of time.

In 2020 Jordan was upset by first-time challenger William Faircloth, R-Toledo.

Faircloth took 53.3% of the vote compared to Jordan’s 46.4%.

He will be the first new face on the Tama County Board of Supervisors since District 3 Supervisor Dan Anderson, D-Tama, won election in 2012.

Anderson was again on the ballot in 2020 and will begin his third term in January after going unopposed.

In 2012 Anderson defeated Luke Squiers, R-Tama, with 65.1% of the vote in District 3.

Anderson won 98.1% of the vote running unopposed in 2016, but saw the total drop to 96.9% in 2020.
