CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Iowa State Senator Liz Mathis is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in the state's First District.
The Linn County Democrat made the announcement Tuesday morning.
If she gets her party's nomination, Mathis will run against first-term Republican Representative Ashley Hinson in November, 2022.
Mathis and Hinson were both local television news anchors in the Cedar Rapids area before going into politics.
Hinson was elected to the First District House seat in 2020, beating Democratic incumbent Abby Finkenauer.
