Iowa Democrat Christina Bohannan has centered her congressional campaign messaging on having a working-class background and knowing what it means “to struggle to put food on the table.”
Her financial disclosures and property records show significant assets, including high-value real estate in Iowa and Florida, as well as substantial stock holdings.

At the Iowa State Fair, Bohannan told a crowd, “You know, I know what it’s like to work so hard and to, to still struggle to put food on the table.”

In multiple campaigns for the same House seat, she has described growing up in a trailer park and facing choices “between putting groceries in the cart and filling prescription drugs.”
Iowa Public Radio reported she reiterated that “she knows what it’s like to struggle.”
Real estate and financial filings provide details that differ from the image she presents on the campaign trail.
In June, Bohannan purchased University of Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery’s $1.55 million home in Iowa City.
Records also show she has long owned a waterfront condo in a gated Sarasota, Florida community where properties range from about $300,000 to more than $1 million and require several thousand dollars in annual fees.
Her financial disclosures indicate the Florida condo has produced as much as $50,000 per year in rental income.
Bohannan’s filings also report that she and her husband hold six-figure amounts in individual technology stocks, including Apple, Alphabet, and Meta.
The investments remain in place despite her “ETHICS PLAN” proposal calling for members of Congress to halt stock trading while serving.
Fox News Digital contacted Bohannan for comment but did not receive a response before publication.
Bohannan is running against Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District.
Earlier in the month, Bohannan attempted to criticize Miller-Meeks over what she described as her opponent’s “true values,” posting a photo of the congresswoman seated in first class on a plane “as her constituents suffer from Trump’s policies.”
“This photo tells you more about Miller-Meeks’ true values than her entire town hall did,” Bohannan wrote in the post containing the image.

The criticism prompted a response from district supervisor Austin Hayek, who pointed to Bohannan’s recent home purchase.
“Christina Bohannan is concerned with 1st class – weird since she just bought a $1.55 million dollar home,” Hayek wrote.
“Seems she’s wanting others to share the wealth, but not herself and she cares more about her personal living than the ‘poor.’ Stop the virtue signally.”
