Democrats picked their candidates for two competitive House districts on Tuesday that will be vital to the party’s efforts to flip control of the chamber this November.

Democrats nominated former state Rep. Christina Bohannan to run against GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa’s first congressional district. Bohannan has taught at the University of Iowa College of Law and served as a state representative in Iowa from 2021 to 2023.
