Iowa's congressional districts
Iowa is divided into four congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. The state's congressional map is roughly divided by quadrants in the northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest sections of Iowa.
The districts were represented by three Republicans and one Democrat from the 2014 elections to the 2018 elections. However, in 2018, two Republican incumbents were ousted by Democratic challengers, flipping the congressional delegation to a three-to-one Democratic majority. Two years later, with the 2020 elections, the Iowa congressional delegation returned to three Republicans and one Democrat.
