DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican Marvis Landon announced she is running for the Iowa House District 41 seat.
Marvis is the widow of former Rep. John Landon, who died in July. He had served as a representative since 2013.
Under the new redistricting maps, District 41 encompasses much of Landon's late husband's former jurisdiction, District 37.
John Landon's death set off a special election between Republican Mike Bousselot and Democrat Andrea Phillips in September. Bousselot won that election but is not running for another term; instead, he will be campaigning for a state Senate seat.
He announced his support for Marvis in a Facebook post on Thursday.
