The2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Iowa were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the fourU.S. representatives from theState ofIowa, one from each of the state's fourcongressional districts. The elections coincided with theother elections to the House of Representatives,elections to theUnited States Senate and variousstate andlocal elections. These were the first congressional elections held in Iowa after the2020 redistricting cycle.
Republicans won all four House seats, making this the first time since1994 that Democrats had been completely shut out of Iowa's House delegation. This also marks the first time since 1956 that there are no Democrats in Iowa's Congressional delegation.
In the2020 elections, Republicans flipped the1st and2nd congressional districts while holding the4th, while Democrats only managed to hold onto the3rd. Iowa was considered to be an important state in the 2022 midterm elections, as Republicans only needed a net gain of five seats to flip the House of Representatives, and the 3rd district had one of the closest House elections won by a Democrat in 2020. At an event in 2021,United States SenatorTed Cruz (R-TX), claimed that the "road to the majority...comes through Iowa."[1] However, Democrats remained optimistic, with former U.S. RepresentativeAbby Finkenauer saying she "couldn't be more excited" about the roster of Iowa Democrats running for Congress in 2022.[2]
