    State Rep. J.D. Scholten is used to being the underdog. New to politics in 2018, he came close to beating long-time incumbent Republican Rep. Steve King. Now, Scholten is running for the U.S. Senate. He'll compete for the Democratic nomination to run for the seat held by Republican U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, who is seeking a third term in 2026. At the age of 45, Scholten still pitches for the minor league baseball team in Sioux City, his hometown, which he also represents in the Iowa House.
