The Daily Iowan, 9/25/2022
State Rep. Christina Bohannan, D-Iowa City, the candidate for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, said in a written statement to The Daily Iowan her opponent and the Republican incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, isn’t working for rural Iowans. 
“She has voted against just about every piece of legislation that will help small towns and rural communities,” Bohannan wrote. “She voted against a bipartisan infrastructure bill that would repair and rebuild our roads and bridges.” 
Miller-Meeks voted against the INVEST in America Act in 2021, which is more commonly referred to as the bipartisan infrastructure bill.  [Miller-Meeks was re-elected in November 2022.)
Among other Iowa legislators who voted no for the bill were Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, and Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa. [Feenstra was re-elected by 2-to-1 margin, and Hinson won an open seat in November 2022.]

Apparently, Iowans get what they deserve.

This line graph is of the fill-in-the-blank variety as far as rural Iowa counties are concerned.
