Dawn Pettengill represents the 39th House District at the Iowa State House. She has served on both sides of the aisle. Her first term she served as a Democrat. She was re-elected to serve another term as a Democrat. In May of 2007 she wrote a letter to her constituents to inform them of her switch to the Republican Party.
It's not often that politicians switch parties. She makes an interesting case study!
This afternoon I was given the PAC donations total from her campaigns in 2004, 2006 and 2008. Her 2004 donation total from PACs was $44,155. She collected $37,050 for her 2006 campaign. The largest amount of funding from PACs came during her 2008 campaign, $56,625.
Just for the record, the information is gathered from the Iowa Board of Ethics. My assistant does her best to get all of the information accurate. Should anyone find an error please do not hesitate to give us the correct information.
Just the facts:
- Married, two sons
- Former Mayor of Mount Auburn
- Former Council Woman of Mount Auburn
- Worked in the Retirement and Financial Services Industry
