Nearby: Council Bluffs, IACOUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Two thousand people — including 400 children — are on a waitlist at a single dental clinic in Council Bluffs; local healthcare professionals say Iowa's Medicaid reimbursement rates, and a shortage of providers, can force neighbors to drive hours to get care in western Iowa. "The need here in the southwestern part of Iowa is just overwhelming," said Joel Dougherty, CEO of All Care Health Center. The nonprofit is breaking ground on a new dental facility that will more than double the number of patients it can serve — up to 8,000 neighbors. "You can leave Minnesota, on the western half of this state, and if you don't stop here you're going to get all the way to the Missouri Border without finding someone who takes adult Medicaid patients, which is just unacceptable," Dougherty said. The waiting lists for children are long, too, according to Council Bluffs Community School District's lead nurse, Shawna Dunn.

Nearby: Council Bluffs, IACOUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Council Bluffs neighbor Carly Sorensen has spina bifida — the same condition that future U.S. Senator Josh Turek has. For her, his election to the U.S. Senate feels personal. KMTV first interviewed the Sorensen family nearly three years ago about Turek's impact on disability visibility. Carly Sorensen, 24, has known Turek pretty much her whole life. When she was a child, her family met Turek through the larger spina bifida support system in Council Bluffs. "Josh is a really great guy, He's fun. He's fun to be around," Carly said. Her mom, Megan Sorensen, says that given the close race, she tried not to get her hopes up for their friend. "And then you start realizing it probably is going to happen. It's indescribable," Megan said. They talked with the lawmaker often in 2023 and 2024, when Turek tried to get Medicaid reform through the Iowa legislature.

Nearby: Council Bluffs, IACOUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Early voting is surging in Pottawattamie County, and a local election official says it's because of two high-profile races at the top of the ballot. County Auditor Mary Ann Hanusa says 10,200 neighbors had cast absentee ballots by the end of the day on Saturday — on track to double the number from four years ago. "For the first time since 1968, Iowa has an open US Senate seat and an open governor's race at the same time," Hanusa said. "Yeah, it was definitely the governor's race and the senate race in Iowa," said Sarah Beth Ray. "My party's asking me to get out and vote so that's what I'm going to do," Kenneth Toms said. "And it's the first time that I can recall that it's pretty close to evenly split, so that really ups the stakes of coming out to vote," James Ray said. Council Bluffs Republican Mark Ford attended a rally for Council Bluffs native — and Democrat — Josh Turek on Sunday.

Nearby: Council Bluffs, IAThe Briefing: Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek spent the final hours before Iowa's November 3 election in Council Bluffs, his hometown, closing a campaign that could reshape control of the U.S. Senate. Turek and Republican Ashley Hinson are deadlocked in the polling average, with forecasters rating the race a toss-up heading into Election Day. A Turek victory would end an 18-year Democratic drought in Iowa Senate contests and give the party a critical building block toward reclaiming the Senate majority. A Homecoming on the Final Day Josh Turek spent the last full day before the election exactly where his political story began: knocking doors in Council Bluffs. The western Iowa city anchored his closing "At the Buzzer Tour" on Monday — the final day of early voting statewide — before he swept east across Iowa for a last round of rallies ahead of Tuesday's election. The choice was both strategic and symbolic.
