Incumbent Brenna Bird (R) and Nate Willems (D) are running in the general election for attorney general of Iowa on Nov. 3, 2026.
Bird is the first Republican to serve as the state's attorney general since 1979. In 2022, Bird defeated then-incumbent Tom Miller (D) 50.8% to 49.1%. In the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump (R) defeated Kamala Harris (D) in the state 55.7% to 42.5%.
According to Sabato's Crystal Ball's Louis Jacobson, "[Willems] starts as a decided underdog, unless Democrats can get a midterm rebound in a state that has become considerably redder in recent election cycles."
