Rosien, 37, is serving his fourth year as mayor of Washington.

He was born in Washington and graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in psychology. Starting in 2014, he served on the Washington City Council and has owned his own restaurant, JP's 207 off the city square, since 2012.

Hora was set to face Democrat Ty Bopp in the general election, but according to the Southeast Iowa Union, Bopp dropped out of the race in April. Bopp still appeared on the ballot after submitting the necessary paperwork and signatures.

The district is one of several open seats representing Johnson County on the primary ballot, including three other Iowa House seats and one Iowa Senate seat.

Election results are unofficial until certified by the Washington and Johnson County boards of supervisors next week.
