From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Dix is a Republican politician and farmer from Shell Rock, Iowa. He served 10 years as a representative in the Iowa legislature representing Iowa House District 17[1], before deciding in 2006 to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in the Iowa's 1st district to replace seven-term Congressman Jim Nussle, who unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Iowa. Dix lost the Republican nomination to restaurant owner Mike Whalen. Whalen lost the general election to Bruce Braley in one of the most watched races nationwide.
In late 2006, Bill Dix hosted a blog on the Des Moines Register website discussing politics and the upcoming elections.[2]
