Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) fended off a Tuesday night primary challenge from businessman David Pautsch.
AP called the race for Miller-Meeks at 10:10 p.m. ET, with the Congresswoman winning in a landslide.
The primary race in the district—a critical battleground for both parties this year—has garnered attention as Miller-Meeks faced a rematch with Pautsch. In 2024, the businessman received 44 percent of the vote against Miller-Meeks.
Miller-Meeks will face off against Democratic nominee Christina Bohannan, who came within just about 800 votes of defeating Miller-Meeks in 2024.
Bohannan, who has served as the Democratic nominee in the past three elections in the district, was declared the nominee by AP at 9:47 p.m. ET, easily fending off a challenge from first-time candidate Travis Terrell.
