In the upcoming election for Iowa's 3rd Congressional District, the Democratic nominee, Lanon Baccam, is challenging Republican incumbent Zach Nunn. Nunn was first elected in 2022, while Baccam, is a former staff member at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and an alumnus of Drake University.
The current composition of the United States House of Representatives consists of 212 Democrats, 220 Republicans, and 3 vacancies. Iowa's 3rd District is characterized by its demographic makeup, with 81% of the population identifying as Non-Hispanic White, 8% as Hispanic, and 6% as Black. Smaller demographic groups include Asians, who make up 4% of the population.
In the 2020 Presidential election, Donald Trump won the district with a narrow margin of around 1%. The 2022 House race saw Nunn win by a similarly narrow margin. The race for this district is considered to be highly competitive, making it a key battleground in the upcoming election.
