A Day On The Trail With Senate Candidate Dr. Glenn Hurst
About two hours before the Celebrate CB Parade begins on Saturday morning, Dr. Glenn Hurst and other volunteers are taping campaign signs to a Ford Ranger pickup truck, a less than glamorous job for a US Senate hopeful but one he doesn’t seem to mind.

The family medicine practitioner from Minden is one of three Democrats—the others are former Rep. Abby Finkenauer and former Admiral Mike Franken—running in the June 7 primary. Whoever wins that race will take on the winner of the Republican primary which features seven-term incumbent US Sen. Chuck Grassley and his challenger, State Sen. Jim Carlin, during the general election.
Hurst noted that if Democrats want a chance this fall, they need a candidate who motivates voters to get out and support candidates up and down the ballot. He said the last few cycles have proven that moderate Democrats won’t win a Senate race in Iowa against a Republican.
“It’s important to have a candidate at the top of the ticket that’s really going to inspire those Democratic voters who look at the ticket and go, ‘Well, you’ve given me a choice between the Republican and the Republican-light, so I’m just not going to show up,’” Hurst said noting the difference between himself and his primary opponents.
