Bohannan Running Again for Congress

Democrat Christina Bohannan has announced she intends to run again for Congress.

Bohannan will run in Iowa’s first congressional district after losing to Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks by 798 votes in 2024. Bohannan also ran against Miller-Meeks in 2022, losing by about 20-thousand votes. 

The first congressional district covers Jones County and much of the southeast corner of Iowa, including Davenport, Iowa City, Newton and Indianola. The district is considered one of the most competitive in the U.S. House. 

Bohannan, a University of Iowa law professor, said in a written statement that she’s running because Miller-Meeks has put partisan politics over Iowans again and again. 

Late last month, Miller-Meeks announced on social media that her campaign is going strong and she will seek reelection to a fourth term in the U.S. House.
