Who Represents You?
Your Guide to the Iowa Legislature & US Congress

There are many issues facing the your elected officials every year. Lawmakers do not always know how a bill may affect the people they are elected to represent. That’s why it is so important to let them know what you think.

Our new 2025-2026 legislative guide, Who Represents You?  can help. It combines all of the information advocates need into a single, user-friendly resource. You can use it to help with your advocacy efforts. This year we have added a new section to help you understand advocacy at the federal level (Congress) as well as the state level (Iowa Legislature).  This guide is available at no cost to people in the Iowa DD Council's advocacy network.

NOTE:  The Guide below was updated September 19, 2025 with the winners of two special elections (House District 78 & Senate District 1) and House leadership changes.  We are still waiting on the new committee assignments of newly elected legislators as well as changes due to leadership changes.  Another special election is upcoming for House District 7 following the September 19 announcement that Rep. Mike Sexton resigned to take a position in the Trump Administration.
