House of Representatives of the United States

In 1974, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the third Iowa District. It acquires a conservative reputation.

United States Senate

In 1980, he went to the United States Senate. He won the Republican primary with about two-thirds of the votes against Tom Stoner, a moderate Republican backed by Gov. Robert D. Ray. During the campaign, he criticizes outgoing Senator John Culver, a member of the Democratic Party, whom he considers too expensive. Grassley takes advantage of the attacks of the “new right” evangelist against it 5 ; worn by the rural areas of the state and by the victory of Ronald Reagan in the presidential election the same day, Grassley wins the election with 53% of votes against 45% for Culver. Popular, he was re-elected in 1986 , 1992 , 1998 , 2004 and 2010 with still more than 64% of the vote. In 2016, he won a sixth term – a first in Iowa – by collecting 60% of the vote against the Democratic candidate and former Lieutenant Governor Patty Judge of the State.

In the Senate, Grassley chairs the committee on aging at the 105th federal legislature and the Finance Committee (briefly during the 107th Legislature and the 108th to 109th parliamentary term and again during the 116th Legislature ) and judicial committee (at 114 e and 115 e legislatures ) . In this post, he does not allow the public hearing of Merrick Garland, appointed by Barack Obama to the Supreme Court of the United States to replace the late Antonin Scalia. He believes, alongside other Senate Republicans, a president should not appoint a judge to the Supreme Court in an election year, citing a similar statement made by Biden in 1992 4.
