wouldn't she have any easier time running for her old seat (assuming no gerrymandering)
It’s hard to make IA-01 more Republican than the state itself, because most of the GOP advantage is in IA-04.
Well, it seems like we are moving into a new alignment where IA-04 trends Dem a bit (but nowhere near enough to matter), IA-01/02 trend hard right and IA-03 now sticks out as being more Dem leaning. Population shifts and the Iowa redistricting rules will accentuate this as IA-03 should collapse inward into an urban Des Moines seat.
