(Iowa) -- Democrat Ryan Melton has announced he is suspending his campaign for Iowa’s 4th Congressional District seat.
Melton made the announcement Wednesday, citing the loss of his private-sector job and the need to focus on finding new employment to support his family. He also mentioned a health concern as a contributing factor in his decision.
Melton was the Democratic nominee in the 4th District in both 2022 and 2024, but lost by more than 30 percentage points each time to incumbent Republican Randy Feenstra.
