Democrats Surge in Iowa House Races | Des Moines News

from Des Moines News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Democrats are surging in Iowa’s key House races, out-raising Republican incumbents with massive fundraising hauls that signal a potential upset in November. In the first and third districts, challengers Christina Bohannan and Sarah Trone Garriott each raised $1.4 million, turning toss-up races into serious threats to GOP control. Meanwhile, in the second district, Rep. Lindsay James has overtaken GOP rival Joe Mitchell, shifting the race from a Republican lean to a genuine toss-up. With Democrats leveraging grassroots energy and incumbents focusing on tax cuts and border security, campaign cash could be the deciding factor as Election Day nears.
