Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks has successfully defended her seat in Iowa's 1st Congressional District against Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan, according to The Associated Press. Miller-Meeks, who has served in the U.S. House since 2021, previously flipped the seat from Democratic to Republican in 2020. This year's race was initially seen as a 'likely' win for Republicans but turned into a toss-up.
Republican Iowa Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks has successfully fended off Democrat ic challenger Christina Bohannan in the race for the state's 1st Congressional District, The Associated Press reported Wednesday. Miller-Meeks has served in the U.S. House since 2021, and currently represents the state’s 1st Congressional District, which includes cities such as Davenport and Iowa City in the southeastern portion of the state.
Miller-Meeks fended off a GOP primary challenger earlier in the cycle who accused her of voting 'against you and the Republican platform over 40% of the time,' while she pitched herself to voters as a 'proven conservative.' The Iowa Republican received endorsements from the Trump orbit amid her election cycle, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Miller-Meeks previously defeated Bohannan in the 2022 general election, 53% to 47%. The 1st district as a whole went for Trump in the 2020 election, voting for him by about three percentage points over President Biden.
