The field in the 2026 Iowa 4th Congressional District remains fluid, as a Republican dropped out Monday.

Douglas Jensen, a veteran from Silver City, joined the 4th District race in October, but now dropped out. Jensen said his wife, who is active in the military, will be sent overseas.

There are four other Republicans still running for the congressional seat that is being vacated by Randy Feenstra, since he is instead running for governor. The remaining Republicans are state lawmaker Matt Windschitl, Siouxland Chamber of Commerce executive Chris McGowan, Ryan Rhodes and Christian Schlaefer.

The Democratic congressional candidates are Dave Dawson, of Lawton, Ashley Wolf Tornabane, of Storm Lake, and Stephanie Steiner, of Sutherland.

He enjoys conversing with people to tell the stories about Siouxland that inform, entertain, and expand the mind, both daily in SPM newscasts and on the weekly show What's The Frequency.
