US Midterms 2026Background
Bohannan won Iowa's 1st District on 3 November 2026, unseating Republican Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks 52.8% to 43.6% on NBC News's unofficial count. The Associated Press projected the race for her late on election night.
It was her third race against Miller-Meeks, who had won their 2022 contest by roughly 20,000 votes and their 2024 rematch by under 800. Sabato's Crystal Ball moved the district from Toss-up to Leans Democratic in September 2026.
The statewide swing ran her way that autumn. In September a Marist Poll gave Democrat Josh Turek his first lead of the year in the Iowa Senate contest. On 3 November her seat was one of three Iowa House districts where Democrats led, on a ballot that also flipped Iowa's Senate seat and governorship.
