DES MOINES – The Iowa Legislature has approved redistricting maps for the state.
This was the second set of maps submitted to the Legislature, after a previous set of maps was rejected. The maps set boundaries for the next 10 years for Congressional districts and state elections.
Already-heated elections for Iowa’s Congressional seats will get hotter now as politicians running to keep or take those seats adjust to new boundaries. Cerro Gordo and Floyd counties, notably, move to District 2 for Congress. Districts 1, 2, and 3 will be close races for Congress, but in District 4, incumbent Randy Feenstra will be a tough out for any Democrat.
