Iowa Democrat Christina Bohannan, who lost to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks by 799 votes last year, is launching a third run for the battleground seat, hoping a more favorable political climate will push her to victory.
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks has had three terms in Congress – three chances to do right by the people of Iowa. Instead, she has taken over $4 million from corporate special interests and done nothing but vote their way,’’ Bohannan said in a statement launching her campaign Tuesday. “And she has put partisan politics over Iowans again and again.”
Miller-Meeks, who is in her third term representing an eastern Iowa district, recently earned a slot on CQ Roll Call’s initial list of the most vulnerable House members. Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates the race for the 1st District a Toss-up.
