WHY       To plan and organize to get Republicans elected to local, state and national office in 2026 and 2028               The general election for the U.S. state of Iowa is November 3, 2026. Every one of Iowa's executive offices are up for election, as well as Joni Ernst's open United States Senate seat, all four of Iowa's seats in the United States House of Representatives, 25 (half) of the seats in the Iowa Senate, and all 100 seats in the Iowa House of RepresentativesPrimary elections will be held on June 2, 2026.

In the last midterm elections in Iowa, Republicans performed very well, recapturing all of Iowa's U.S. house delegation and winning supermajorities in both state chambers. The Republicans also knocked off two of the three state executive office holders, leaving the state auditor, (Rob Sand), as the lone Democrat in state office.[2]

However, Democrats have a history of doing pretty well in Iowa during Republican presidents' midterms, like in 2006, and 2018. On top of that, Democrats have been overperforming in special elections across America, but massively overperforming in Iowa. Every Democratic candidate has overperformed Kamala Harris's 2024 margin by more than 20 points in every race. By comparison, Trump only won this state by about 13.2 points in 2024 so Iowa will be very competitive in 2026.
