State Sen. Julian Garrett, R-Indianola, said he’s going through treatment for prostate cancer and won’t be seeking reelection.

He has served in the Legislature since 2011. Garrett is one of at least four state senators to be diagnosed with cancer in the past two years.

In a statement, he said it’s been “his greatest pleasure to serve in the Iowa Senate to stand up for the Constitution … and enact common-sense, conservative legislation.”
