Republican Ron Corbett says he has filed a lawsuit, hoping a judge will rule his name should be on the Iowa June Primary ballot as a challenger of Governor Kim Reynolds.  A state panel this week concluded Corbett’s nominating petitions were eight signatures short of the number required to qualify as a primary candidate.

 

Corbett spoke at a news conference in Cedar Rapids this, blasting the “Republican establishment” for challenging that paperwork.

 

Corbett says one reason he filed the lawsuit is because Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller “sided with” Corbett, while the two other members of the review panel voted against letting Corbett on the ballot.
