Janice Weiner re-elected as Democratic Leader

“I’m honored to continue serving as the leader of our Democratic caucus in the Iowa Senate,” Sen. Janice Weiner (D-Iowa City) said. 

“When Iowans voted, they sent legislators a clear message about their priorities: bring down costs, support public education, bridge healthcare access gaps, make housing more affordable, clean up our water, lower our cancer rates, and tackle corruption,” Sen. Weiner said. “They’re exhausted by the extremes and tired of special interest giveaways. Our caucus is eager to get to work in this new, more balanced state government.”

“I’m thankful for my colleagues’ trust and support,” Sen. Weiner said. “I welcome our new members and look forward to working with our talented and dedicated group to continue growing our caucus. And to echo Governor-elect Sand, Iowans voted for split government and they expect us to work together to deliver on the promise of a better Iowa for all.”

Sen. Weiner was first elected to the Iowa Senate in 2022 and has served as Democratic Leader since November 2024. She represents Senate District 45, which includes most of Iowa City and University Heights. 

Sen. Weiner is joined on the Senate Democratic Leadership Team by Democratic Whip Matt Blake (SD 22), and Assistant Leaders Molly Donahue (SD 37), Catelin Drey (SD 1), Renee Hardman (SD 16), Tom Townsend (SD 36), and Cindy Winckler (SD 49).

The first session of the Ninety-Second General Assembly begins on Monday, Jan. 11, 2027.
