Whiting, a Republican, resigned to accept a position with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative, free-market think tank located in Austin, Texas.

Iowa Code 69.14 outlines the authority given to the governor to set a special election. Whiting was serving his first term in the Iowa Senate. Senate District 1, located in Clay, Dickinson, Lyon, Osceola, and Palo Alto counties, includes Spirit Lake, Spencer, Emmetsburg, Sibley, and Rock Rapids. 

Iowa Senate District 1 is a safe Republican district with Republicans having a 3 to 1 registered voter advantage over Democrats. As of November 1, there are 21,880 registered Republicans, 7,226 registered Democrats, and 9,904 registered independents.
