Welcome to Iowa's 5th Congressional District
We're the Left Coast of Iowa — the largest district in the state — with 32 counties running 196 miles from Minnesota to Missouri. We take our values seriously, and exist to support the election of our 5th District candidate for U.S. Congress as well as support other coordinated campaign efforts to elect Democrats all across the district.
We thank you for taking the time to visit, and welcome any feedback or suggestions
regarding our website or district.

County fairs provide area voters an excellent opportunity to visit with and get to know candidates and where they stand on the issues. Whether a local resident running for county supervisor or a candidate campaigning for the US House, most make every effort to spend time meeting and greeting fairgoers as they pass by the county party's Democratic fair booth.
Upcoming county fairs, along with dates and locations, may be found by visiting our Calendar. The list below provides a brief overview of those currently in progress or coming up very soon. For more information, please contact the respective county chair. List of County Chairs
