January 26, 2026 – State Representative Shannon Lundgren (R-Peosta), today (Monday) announced that she is suspending her campaign for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District to focus on her ongoing work in the Iowa House of Representatives and to prepare for reelection to her current seat representing House District 65. The 2nd Congressional District is comprised of multiple counties primarily in northeastern and eastern Iowa.

Lundgren said in a press release, she made her decision after much consideration and discussion with her family. Rep. Lundgren launched her congressional campaign in September 2025 with a focus on the America First agenda. Her office says “During her time in the Iowa House—now in her fifth term—she has championed legislation on economic growth, health care access, lowering energy costs, and supporting working families as a small business owner, wife, mother, and grandmother.”

Rep. Lundgren will remain active in her role in the Iowa House, including her work on the Ways and Means Committee, Commerce Committee, State Government Committee and will focus on legislative priorities that are important in Iowa in the upcoming session and beyond.
