Notes

Shawn Hamerlinck (born 1980) served one term in the Iowa State Senate, representing the 42nd District. He lost re-election in 2012. Hamerlinck was named in a sexual harassment lawsuit, which claimed that Hamerlinck often commented about women's breasts[3]

He sits on these committees: Economic Growth, Education, Local Government, Rebuild Iowa (Ranking Member), Ways and Means, Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Infrastructure, and Capitals, and the Appropriations Subcommittee.

In 2005, and again in 2007, he was elected an alderman for Davenport's second ward.

He is an adjunct faculty member at Black Hawk College and Augustana College.

U.S. Senator Charles Grassley's Hawkeye PAC (a leadership PAC) donated $3000 to Hamerlinck's campaign on October 18, 2008.[4]

Hamerlinck endorsed Tim Pawlenty in the Iowa caucus phase of the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012.[5][6]
