Jarad Klein

Incumbent Jarad Klein won the Republican primary for House District 78. KCII News spoke with Klein at the Washington County Courthouse just after he learned he’d won the nomination again and said he’s looking forward to going back to Des Moines to represent the voters of the district.

Currently, Klein doesn’t have opposition in November’s general election. He adds residents of the district can expect discussions about issues, like Medicaid privatization oversight and third grade reading retention initiatives before the general election.

Klein received 1,939 votes or 67% while challenger Marcus Fedler received 955 votes.
