A Republican, he sat on the Appropriations, Human Resources, Natural Resources, and Ways and Means committees. He was the ranking member on the Administration and Regulation Appropriations Subcommittee.[5] Bartz lost his reelection bid in 2012 in a race where there were two incumbents redistricted together. Incumbent Mary Jo Wilhlem defeated Senator Bartz by 126 votes in a very contentious election, where at one point Bartz was accused of joining the War on Women and of being demeaning to women.[6] Previously he served in the Iowa House of Representatives (19th District, 1991 – 1993), and the Iowa Senate (10th District, 1993 – 2002). He was Senate Assistant Majority Leader in the 77th, 78th, and 79th General Assemblies.[2][7] Bartz was appointed (January, 2002) Special Assistant to the Undersecretary, Natural Resources and Environment, U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. He is a sixth generation Iowa farmer.[8] From July 2004, he was Regional Assistant Chief, Central, for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). He was a management representative of the Chief, providing direction of NRCS programs and activities and overall leadership and supervision to state conservationists in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin.[9] Bartz has a B.A. music and political science from Luther College.{{cn|date=June 2016}} IssuesBartz has focused on reining in expenditures.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} Bartz launched a drive to gather petitions asking County Recorders to deny marriage licenses for same-sex marriages after Democrats thwarted efforts to launch a constitutional amendment in the Iowa General Assembly following the Iowa Supreme Court's 2009 ruling in Varnum v. Brien authorizing same-sex marriage in Iowa.[3][10] Electoral history{{Election box begin no change|title=Iowa Senate elections, 2012}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change|party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Mary Jo Wilhelm |votes = 15,530 |percentage = 50.17}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Merlin Bartz |votes = 15,404 |percentage = 49.17}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Independent (politics) |candidate = Write in |votes = 18 |percentage = .66}}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change|title=Iowa Senate elections, 2008}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Merlin Bartz |votes = 14,268 |percentage = 49.26}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Doug Thompson |votes = 12,447 |percentage = 42.97}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Independent (politics) |candidate = Kenneth J Abrams |votes = 2,232 |percentage = 7.71}}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{cite web|title=Senate Journal: Monday, March 18, 2002|work=Journal of the Senate|url=http://www.legis.state.ia.us/GA/79GA/Session.2/SJournal/Day/0318.html|accessdate=August 23, 2009}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.votesmart.org/bio.php?can_id=6413 |title=Senator Merlin E.

[Bartz] launched a petition drive last week aimed at encouraging county recorders to reject marriage applications from same-sex couples until Iowans are able to vote on a same-sex marriage referendum. Republicans in the Iowa House and Senate have tried repeatedly to convince the General Assembly to place a traditional-marriage constitutional amendment on the ballot, but they've been stymied by the Democratic leadership. ... 'We've attempted four times on the floor of the Senate to bring up a constitutional amendment or at least deal with the court decision,' Mr. Bartz said. 'After all these efforts failed, you say, OK, the people of Iowa can't vote on this, they can't make their voices heard, so let's at least do a petition.'}} External links
