Meyer tapped to lead Iowa House Democrats in transition

Des Moines Rep. Brian Meyer, first elected in 2012, was chosen by Iowa House Democrats to replace Jenni Konfrst as minority leader when she steps down after the 2025 session to pursue Congress. Meyer plans to tour the state to recruit candidates for 2026 and will push a pro economic, less social issue focused agenda while offering legislative alternatives to GOP proposals.

Konfrst enters race against Rep Zach Nunn in Iowa 3rd

Iowa House Democratic leader Jennifer Konfrst announces a bid for Congress in Iowa's 3rd District to challenge Republican Rep. Zach Nunn. She leaves the state House leadership and will serve as a legislator through her term while campaigning. The contest joins several recent competitive races as analysts deem the district a toss up or leaning Republican. Konfrst, 51, is the first woman to lead Iowa House Democrats and has been in the Statehouse since 2018.
