Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks has called a Democrat-backed recount of her 2024 House race a waste of taxpayer money while she leads Christina Bohannan by fewer than 1,000 votes.
An incumbent Iowa Republican seeking re-election to the House has accused her Democratic opponent of 'wasting taxpayer money' by pursuing a recount of their close contest. The Associated Press has not yet called the race in Iowa's 1st Congressional District, where Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, leads Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan by just 801 votes. Bohannan requested a recount last week.
Republican incumbents held onto Iowa’s three other congressional seats, including the competitive 3rd District where Zach Nunn fended off a challenge from Democrat Lanon Baccam. Republican incumbents Ashley Hinson in the 2nd District and Randy Feenstra in the 4th District won decisively. Hinson defeated Democrat Sarah Corkery. Feenstra defeated Democrat Ryan Melton.
So far, Republicans have claimed 219 seats in the House of Representatives while Democrats have held on to 213. There are still two uncalled races in California's 13th and 45th Congressional Districts, where Republican incumbents are defending their seats by extremely close margins.
