Former State Representative and Law Professor endorsed by nonpartisan Foreign Policy for America 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 13, 2024

WASHINGTON D.C. - Foreign Policy for America announced today its endorsement of Christina Bohannan for election to the U.S. Congress as the Representative from Iowa’s First Congressional District. Bohannan previously ran for Congress in 2022. 

"Iowans deserve a leader who will go to work every day and fight for trade, climate, and labor policies that deliver for their communities. Christina Bohanna is that leader. She’ll be a steadfast champion for U.S. leadership on the international stage," said Andrew Albertson, Executive Director of Foreign Policy for America. "In Congress, she will be a powerful advocate for policies that expand Iowans’ access to global markets. And, as a scholar of U.S. Constitutional law, Christina knows the vital importance of defending democracy at home and abroad. We’re very proud to endorse her for Congress.” 

Christina Bohannan is a Constitutional law professor at the University of Iowa College of Law and a former Representative in the Iowa State House. Bohannan was the first in her family to graduate college, first earning a degree in environmental engineering and later a degree in law. Bohannan has worked as an engineer with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and as a clerk for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. She was elected to the Iowa legislature in 2020 where she worked to support small businesses, increase investment in public schools, and protect seniors. In Congress, Bohannan will continue to be a champion for small businesses and public education and will also fight to address rising costs, increase Iowa’s access to global markets, and make Iowa a clean-energy leader.
