DUBUQUE, Iowa (KCRG) – Republican State Representative Shannon Lundgren on Tuesday announced she is running to represent Iowa’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In a Facebook post announcing her candidacy, Lundgren touted her long history of supporting President Donald Trump.
“In the 2024 caucuses, I proudly stood with him early again. Now, I’m stepping up to serve Iowans in Congress because President Trump needs that type of unwavering, loyal conservative fighters in Congress to deport illegal immigrants and make America safe, support our small businesses and working families, help Iowans afford housing and health care, protect Social Security and Medicare, and end the woke gender ideology that endangers our daughters,” Lundgren wrote.
Lundgren has represented Dubuque County in the Iowa House since 2017.
She joins a growing list of candidates seeking the seat.
Republicans Charlie McClintock, Joe Mitchell, and Rod Blum are also seeking the seat. Blum previously represented the district from 2015 to 2019.
Democrats Lindsay James, Clint Twedt-Ball, and Kathy Dolter have also launched campaigns.
Republican Ashley Hinson has held the seat since 2021. Hinson previously announced she will run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Joni Ernst who is retiring.
