hristina Bohannan, the Democratic challenger for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, is pitching affordability as her campaign’s cornerstone for the 2026 midterms. Her campaign promises to tackle the cost of living for everyday Iowans. Yet a Washington Reporter audit of her financial filings and state property records reveals she owns a $1.55 million mansion in Iowa City and a luxury condo in Sarasota, Florida. The Iowa home was purchased last summer, expanding her real‑estate holdings. Bohannan has repeatedly claimed she understands the struggles of working‑class Iowans, saying, “I know what it means to work hard, just like the families I’m fighting for.” Her Florida condo sits in a gated waterfront community and generated up to $50,000 in rental income, according to her disclosures. She also holds a six‑figure portfolio of individual Big‑Tech stocks. In contrast, incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller‑Meeks, who owns no individual shares and backs the ETHICS Act to bar congressional stock trading, presents a stark foil. Bohannan declined to comment on the findings.
