https://www.kcrg.com/content/news/Abby-Finkenauer-defeats-Rod-Blum-in-Iowas-first-congressional-district-499567821.htmlDUBUQUE, Iowa (KCRG) - Iowa State House Representative Abby Finkenauer defeated Republican incumbent Rep. Rod Blum in the race for Iowa’s first U.S. congressional district on Tuesday.
Finkenauer is now one of the youngest women ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and the first woman in Iowa to serve as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Finkenauer is also the first Democrat to hold the first district seat since former Rep. Bruce Braley held it from 2007-2015. She is only the third Democrat to hold the seat since 1973.
