Siouxland Public Media’s Bret Hayworth has produced a series of key election contests for Thursdays through October.
The November election has a lot of notable contests, and one involves a rematch of the 2022 Iowa 4th congressional district race, with incumbent Republican Randy Feenstra and Democrat Ryan Melton.
The 4th District covers 36 counties in Northwest and North Central Iowa, and has many more registered Republicans than Democrats.
Feenstra is a former state senator from Hull, who won his first term in 2020 in the district that had been held for 18 years by conservative firebrand Steve King.
Melton lives in Webster City, and lost to Feenstra two years ago, 67 percent to 30 percent.
