Branstad later became a pre-law student at Georgetown University and then moved to Chicago to work in the insurance industry. Branstad began farming near Thompson in 1951, and began his political career by contesting the state legislative elections of 1978, succeeding his second cousin Terry Branstad as state representative from the eighth district in January 1979. He won a second term in 1980, and from 1983 to his retirement in 1997 represented the sixteenth district. In December 2006, Branstad was awarded a high school diploma from North Iowa High School, which had formed from a merger between Thompson and Buffalo Center-Rake-Lakota High Schools in 1996. Branstad was a Lutheran. He died in 2014, aged 90, survived by his wife, Grace Martin, whom he had married in 1947, and four of his five children. (en)
