Davenport, IA – Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks again declared victory after the official recount process in Iowa’s First Congressional District confirmed her win. Despite Miller-Meeks’ insurmountable lead, failed congressional candidate Christina Bohannan initiated the recount process that cost Iowa taxpayers $20,000.
"I am deeply honored to have the recount completed and once again secure reelection so I can continue serving the hardworking people of southeast Iowa," said Miller-Meeks. "I want to thank the election officials, volunteers, and recount boards who worked tirelessly, even during this Holiday week. I am now looking forward to getting back to work in Washington to lower prices at the gas pump, grocery store and on prescription drugs, secure the border and help farmers."
Congresswoman Miller-Meeks won by 798 votes after all 20 counties in the district completed the recount process. She now returns to Washington for a third term.
The certified results from each county will be canvassed by the bipartisan State Board of Canvassers on December 2, 2024.
