Iowa House Minority Leader Jennifer Konfrst is running for Congress in Iowa's 3rd District, becoming the second Democrat seeking to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn in 2026. The 3rd Congressional District, which spans 20 counties in central and southern Iowa, is likely to be key to next year's battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Konfrst, 51, said she grew up in Iowa and wants to fight for Iowans in Washington, D.C. Her plans were first reported in the Des Moines Register. #Iowa #iowacheck #Iowafyp #IowaPolitics #News #Midterms2026 #Democrats #Republicans
