US EditionFormer Congressional Candidate Seeks Third Match Against Miller-Meeks
- Democrat Christina Bohannan announced on Tuesday her third campaign to unseat Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa's 1st Congressional District.
- Bohannan's renewed bid follows her narrow loss to Miller-Meeks by fewer than 800 votes in the 2024 general election after a recount was requested.
- Bohannan criticized Miller-Meeks for supporting policies such as Medicaid cuts and tariffs that have raised costs for Iowa families and prioritized special interests.
- Miller-Meeks has served three terms and won her 2024 reelection by about 0.2% of roughly 427,000 cast votes in a closely contested district leaning Republican.
- Bohannan hopes shifting political headwinds will aid her bid to flip the seat, as constituents express frustration with political division and economic concerns tied to current policies.
