Elections for the Iowa House of Representatives took place in 2022. The general election was on November 8, 2022. A primary was scheduled for June 7, 2022. The filing deadline was March 18, 2022.
The Iowa House of Representatives was one of 88 state legislative chambers with elections in 2022. There are 99 chambers throughout the country. At the time of the 2022 elections, Republicans held a majority in more chambers than Democrats. There was a Republican majority in 62 chambers and a Democratic majority in 36 chambers. In the Alaska House, there was a power-sharing agreement between the parties as part of a coalition.
Heading into the election, Ballotpedia identified 27 battleground races in the Iowa House of Representatives 2022 elections, 13 of which were Democratic-held districts while the other 14 were Republican-held districts. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.
All 100 seats were up for election in 2022. The chamber's Republican majority increased from 60-40 to 64-36.
At the time of the 2022 election, Iowa had had a Republican trifecta since 2017. If the Democratic Party flipped 10 or more seats, then the Republican Party would have lost its trifecta. If the Republican Party lost no more than nine seats, and maintained control of the state senate and the governorship they would have kept their trifecta. This was one of 28 state legislative chambers Ballotpedia identified as a battleground chamber in 2022. Click here for more on why this chamber was identified as a battleground.
In the 2022 Republican primaries, four incumbents who opposed legislation establishing the state's educational savings account program lost to challengers endorsed by Gov. Kim Reynolds (R). In January 2023, the Legislature passed and Reynolds signed House File 68, which created an educational savings account program.[1]

2022 battleground chamber
The Iowa House of Representatives was among 28 state legislative chambers Ballotpedia identified as battleground chambers for the 2022 cycle.
What was at stake?
- The Democratic Party needed to gain 11 or more seats to take control of the chamber in 2022. The Republican Party needed to lose nine or fewer seats to maintain control.
- The Democratic Party flipping the state House would break the Republican Party's trifecta. The Republican Party would have needed to keep the state House as well as the state Senate and the governorship to maintain their trifecta.
Why was it a battleground?
- Seats needed to flip: The Democratic Party needed to flip 11 seats (11% of seats up) in order to win control of the chamber.
- Seats decided by less than 10% in the last election: Twenty-nine of the seats up for election (29% of seats up) in 2022 were decided by margins of 10 percentage points or smaller the last time they were up.
- 2020 battleground chamber: The Iowa House of Representatives was a battleground chamber in 2020. That year, the Republican Party gained six seats from the Democratic Party. Read more about the 2020 elections here.

Primary election competitiveness
This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Iowa. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Iowa in 2022. Information below was calculated on May 20, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Forty-six state legislative districts up for election this year in Iowa were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That equals 33% of the 134 districts up for election in 2022 and 31% of all 150 districts in the Iowa General Assembly.
Since no incumbents were present, open districts were guaranteed to be won by newcomers to the assembly. This was the largest guaranteed influx of newcomers to the Iowa General Assembly since 2014.
The percentage of newcomers to the assembly can change throughout an election cycle. Open districts are the first indicator, but newcomers can also defeat incumbents in primary or general elections. Incumbents who filed for re-election could also withdraw from the race later in the cycle.
This year, 41 districts were open because incumbents either retired or chose to run for some other office. Five other districts were open due to redistricting moving incumbents into districts with other incumbents. This can lead to incumbent versus incumbent contests if multiple incumbents choose to run in the same district.
There were four incumbent versus incumbent contests in Iowa this year. In these races, since only one candidate can win, one incumbent was guaranteed to lose:
- House District 66: Reps. Steven Bradley (R) v. Lee Hein (R) in a primary.
- House District 53: Reps. Dean Fisher (R) v. David Maxwell (R) in a primary.
- House District 87: Reps. Joe Mitchell (R) v. Jeff Shipley (R) in a primary.
- Senate District 14: Sens. Sarah Trone Garriott (D) v. Jake Chapman (R) in the general.
The total number of contested primaries—including those featuring incumbents and those in open districts—reached its highest point since 2014.
In 2022, there are 44 contested primaries—13 Democratic primaries and 31 for Republicans. For Democrats, this was up from 12 in 2020, an 8% increase. For Republicans, the number increased 94% from 13 in 2020 to 31 in 2022.
Overall, 254 major party candidates filed: 112 Democrats and 142 Republicans. That equals 1.9 candidates per district, the same as in 2020, and down from 2.0 in 2018.
Open seats
The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Iowa House of Representatives from 2010 to 2022.[3] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.
| Open Seats in Iowa House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2022 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Total seats | Open seats | Seats with incumbents running for re-election |
| 2022 | 100 | 33 (33 percent) | 67 (67 percent) |
| 2020 | 100 | 11 (11 percent) | 89 (89 percent) |
| 2018 | 100 | 17 (17 percent) | 83 (83 percent) |
| 2016 | 100 | 13 (13 percent) | 87 (87 percent) |
| 2014 | 100 | 11 (11 percent) | 89 (89 percent) |
| 2012 | 100 | 17 (17 percent) | 83 (83 percent) |
| 2010 | 100 | 14 (14 percent) | 86 (86 percent) |
Incumbents running in new districts
When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election.
Iowa rearranged its House districts during the redistricting process after the 2020 census. As a result, 68 of the 70 incumbents seeking re-election at the time of the primary filed to run in new districts different from those they represented before the election. Click [show] on the header below to view a table showing all 100 districts in the leftmost column along with all legislators representing those districts at the time of the 2022 filing deadline. The "Filed in 2022 in ..." column lists the districts, in which incumbents filed to run. The "New district open?" column indicates whether the incumbent running was the only incumbent seeking re-election in that district.

Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Title II of the Iowa Code
There are four ways in which a candidate can gain access to the general election ballot: by primary election, by political party convention, by Non-party Political Organization (NPPO) convention, or by petition. These are detailed below.
Iowa allows any registered voter to challenge a candidate's nominating petition, as long as the challenge is made in writing and within 74 days of the corresponding election.[4][5]
By primary election
A candidate seeking the nomination of a state-recognized political party in a primary election must be a member of that party. Non-party Political Organizations (NPPOs) are not permitted to participate in primary elections. A primary election candidate must file an affidavit of candidacy and nomination petition with the Iowa Secretary of State during the primary election filing period, which begins 99 days before the primary and ends at 5 p.m. on the 81st day before the primary. The affidavit of candidacy and the nomination petition must be filed simultaneously.[6][7]
For the number of signatures required for nomination petitions, see the table below.[6][8][9]
| Formulas for determining signature requirements for political party candidates in primary elections | ||
|---|---|---|
| Office sought | Number of signatures needed | |
| Governor or U.S. Senator | 3,500 signatures, including at least 100 from 19 different counties.[6][9] | |
| State executive office (other than governor and lieutenant governor) | 2,500 signatures, including at least 77 from 18 different counties.[9] | |
| United States Representative | 1,726 signatures, including at least 47 from half of the counties in the district.[6][9] | |
| State Senator | 100 signatures from the district.[6][9] | |
| State Representative | 50 signatures from the district.[6][9] | |
By political party convention
If a political party fails to nominate a candidate at the primary election, the party may hold a convention after the primary to nominate a candidate. That candidate must then file a political party convention certificate and an affidavit of candidacy. The deadline to file the convention certificate and affidavit of candidacy is the same as the general election filing deadline. However, a political party convention candidate may file his or her documents before the filing period begins for general election candidates.[10]
By Non-party Political Organization (NPPO) convention
Non-party Political Organizations (NPPOs) are permitted to hold conventions to nominate their candidates. However, in order to qualify their nominations, NPPOs must meet the following requirements:[10][11][12]
- To nominate a candidate to a state executive office or the United States Senate, 500 eligible electors, meaning people who meet all the requirements to register to vote, must attend the convention, and 25 counties must be represented by at least one eligible elector each.
- To nominate a candidate to the United States House of Representatives, 200 eligible electors who are residents of the congressional district the candidate seeks to represent must attend, including one eligible elector from at least half of the counties in the district.
- To nominate a candidate to the Iowa State Senate, 50 eligible electors who are residents of the senatorial district must attend, including one eligible elector from one-half of the precincts in the senatorial district.
- To nominate a candidate to the Iowa House of Representatives, 25 eligible electors who are residents of the representative district must attend, including one eligible elector from one-half of the precincts in the representative district.
- A convention may be held at any time as long as it is before the general election filing deadline.[13]
- After the convention, the NPPO must provide a list of those who attended the convention, including their addresses, to the Iowa Secretary of State, along with a convention certificate and an affidavit of candidacy for the candidate nominated. These documents must be filed together during the general election filing period, which begins 99 days before the general election and ends at 5 p.m. 81 days before the general election.[13][10][5]
By petition
A candidate who is not affiliated with any political party or NPPO can be nominated by petition. A NPPO candidate can gain ballot access in this manner if the NPPO cannot meet the convention attendance requirements described above. A petition candidates must file an affidavit of candidacy and nomination petition with the Iowa Secretary of State. These forms must be filed together by 5 p.m. 81 days before the general election.[5][11]
The table below details the signature requirements necessary for obtaining ballot access by petition.
| Formulas for determining signature requirements for NPPO candidates | ||
|---|---|---|
| Office sought | Number of signatures needed | |
| United States Senator or governor | 3,500 eligible electors, including at least 100 from at least 19 counties[10][11] | |
| Otherwise statewide executive offices | 2,500 eligible electors, including at least 77 from at least 18 counties[10][11] | |
| United States Representative | 1,726 eligible electors who are residents of the congressional district, including at least 47 eligible electors each from at least one-half of the counties in the congressional district[10][11] | |
Qualifications
The Iowa Constitution states, "No person shall be a member of the house of representatives who shall not have attained the age of twenty-one years, be a citizen of the United States, and shall have been an inhabitant of this state one year next preceding his election, and at the time of his election shall have had an actual residence of sixty days in the county, or district he may have been chosen to represent."[14]

Redistricting following the 2020 census
On November 4, 2021, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed new congressional and state legislative maps into law after the state's Legislative Services Agency had proposed them on October 21, 2021. The Iowa legislature approved the maps on October 28, 2021, by a vote of 48-1 in the state Senate and 93-2 in the state House.[17] The legislature could only vote to approve or reject the maps and could not make any amendments. These maps took effect for Iowa's 2022 congressional and legislative elections.
Below is the state House map in effect before and after the 2020 redistricting cycle.

- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
