Former Congressional Candidate Seeks Third Match Against Miller-Meeks
- Christina Bohannan announced her 2025 campaign to unseat Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa's 1st Congressional District, continuing a close rivalry.
- Bohannan narrowly lost to Miller-Meeks by fewer than 800 votes in the 2024 race, reflecting a historically competitive district with shifting political dynamics.
- Bohannan, a former Iowa House member and law professor, criticizes Miller-Meeks for supporting Medicaid cuts, tariffs raising family costs, and corporate special interest influence.
- Bohannan claimed that Miller-Meeks had three opportunities to serve the people of Iowa but chose instead to accept more than $4 million in donations from corporate interest groups and consistently sided with them in her votes.
- The continued contest underscores Iowa’s battleground status, with Bohannan hoping new political headwinds and voter concerns about economic and health care issues aid her challenge.
