Campaign Almanac Johnson County Democrat runs for Congress
A Johnson County Democrat and health care worker, Travis Terrell, filed candidacy papers with the FEC signaling a bid for Eastern Iowa's 1st Congressional District to challenge Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in 2026. Terrell, Ottumwa-born and raised in a single-parent home, promotes a grassroots, working class campaign focused on Medicare, rural health access, and immigrant rights. Miller-Meeks, from Ottumwa and Davenport, is a veteran nurse and Army veteran who won re election in 2024 and is expected to seek a third term. National Democrats consider Iowa's first district in play for 2026, with multiple candidates and strong fundraising activity across the delegation.
