Iowa Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek will defeat Republican U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson in the Iowa Senate race, flipping the seat to Democratic control for the first time in nearly two decades.

In the governor's race, ABC News projects Democratic state Auditor Rob Sand will defeat Republican Zach Lahn in a state President Donald Trump won comfortably in 2024.

There are three high-profile House races in the state. In the 1st District, Democrat Christina Bohannan, a former state representative, is mounting a third bid to unseat Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks.

There are two Democrats who are ordained ministers running in the 2nd and 3rd congressional districts. Democratic state Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott is challenging Republican Rep. Zach Nunn in the 3rd Congressional District, which includes the city of Des Moines. And Democratic state Rep. Lindsay James is facing off against Republican Joe Mitchell, a former state lawmaker, for the open seat in the 2nd Congressional District left vacant by Hinson.
