[constituency_baseline] District summary: Iowa's 1st Congressional District covers eastern Iowa, encompassing the Quad Cities (Davenport, Bettendorf) on the Mississippi River, Iowa City (home to the University of Iowa), and a wide swath of rural eastern Iowa counties. The district is economically anchored by three distinct clusters: the Quad Cities manufacturing and logistics corridor (including John Deere's global headquarters in Moline, Illinois, adjacent to Davenport), the University of Iowa's healthcare and research complex in Iowa City, and the broadly agricultural interior — among the most productive corn and soybean land in the world. IA-01 has competitive political geography, with liberal Iowa City and labor-influenced Quad Cities precincts counterbalanced by heavily Republican rural counties. Miller-Meeks won her initial 2020 race by six votes following a recount — the narrowest House margin in modern history — and has faced competitive elections since. The district has above-average healthcare employment relative to Iowa generally, reflecting UI Health Care's dominance in Iowa City. Ethanol, pork, and biofuels are central to the rural economy. The district has documented rural hospital financial stress in smaller counties.
