Who’s who in the Iowa House for 2025
Republicans hold a 67 to 33 majority for the 2025 legislative session, which began on January 13. That’s a net gain of three seats since last year’s session.
Sixteen House members (twelve Republicans and four Democrats) are serving their first term in the legislature.
The House members include 73 men and 27 women (fourteen Democrats, thirteen Republicans), down from 29 women (sixteen Democrats and thirteen Republicans) who served in 2023 and 2024. The record for women’s representation in the Iowa House was 34 female lawmakers in 2019.
Six African Americans (Democrats Jerome Amos, Jr., Ruth Ann Gaines, Rob Johnson, Mary Madison, and Ross Wilburn, and Republican Eddie Andrews) serve in the legislature’s lower chamber. Gaines chairs the Iowa Legislative Black Caucus.
Republican Mark Cisneros was the first Latino elected to the Iowa legislature in 2020, and Democrat Adam Zabner became the second Latino to serve in the chamber in 2023. Republican Henry Stone became only the second Asian American to serve in the House after the 2020 election, and Democrat Megan Srinivas was first elected in 2022. The other representatives are white.
Three House members identify as part of the LGBTQ community: Democrats Elinor Levin and Aime Wichtendahl, and Republican Austin Harris. As for religious diversity, Levin and Zabner are Jewish. Srinivas is Hindu. The chamber has no Muslim members for the first time since 2006, due to Ako Abdul-Samad’s retirement.
Some non-political trivia: the 100 Iowa House members include two with the surname Meyer (a Democrat and a Republican), two Johnsons (a Democrat and a Republican), and a Thompson and a Thomson (both Republicans).
As for popular first names, there are four men named David (one goes by Dave), three named Thomas or Tom, three Roberts (two Bobs and a Bobby), three men named Michael (two go by Mike), two men named Dan or Daniel, a Jon and a John, a Josh and a Joshua, and two men each named Jeff, Brian, Steven, Chad, Austin, and Mark. There are also two Elizabeths (one goes by Beth) and two women each named Jennifer, Heather, Megan, and Shannon. As recently as 2020, four women named Mary served in the Iowa House, but now there is only one.
