Republican Representative Zach Nunn has successfully secured reelection to his U.S. House position representing Iowa.
On Wednesday, Nunn solidified his hold on the competitive district centered around Des Moines, a seat he initially won in 2022 after Democrats had held it for a single cycle in 2018.
The 2020 presidential election saw the district vote nearly equally among the candidates, although Republican Donald Trump received a slight advantage.
This election cycle attracted significant attention along with a substantial influx of financial resources from both parties.
The Democrats rallied behind Lanon Baccam, a veteran of the Afghanistan war, in a bid to reclaim the district.
The official announcement of Nunn’s victory was made by election officials at 12:18 a.m. EST, marking a pivotal moment in this closely watched race.
