The rightwing holds supermajorities in both chambers in Iowa. In recent legislative sessions, lawmakers in the majority have used their governing power to pass one of the nation’s most extreme and dangerous abortion bans, gut child labor laws that protect kids from exploitative and unsafe working conditions, and strip public schools of funding.
Power our ability to select and invest in majority-making districts that can help build and defend governing power for state lawmakers committed to safeguarding our democracy, protecting personal freedoms, and improving lives across the country.
All seats in the Iowa State House and half of the State Senate seats were up for election in 2024. While two out of the three candidates in districts TSP targeted won their races, the rightwing picked up three additional House seats to win a supermajority and won an additional seat in the Senate to expand their supermajority in the chamber.
While candidates in the districts we invested in outperformed Democrats overall in contested races by about 1 percent, there was one major over-performer, coming within 1 percent in a district that Biden lost by more than 20 percent. In one district we invested in, a candidate who previously lost to an incumbent two years ago, flipped their seat to join the Iowa House of Representatives.
