Christina Bohannan, a Democratic candidate from Iowa, is presenting herself as a champion of the working class in her congressional campaign. However, despite her claims of understanding the struggles of average Iowans, Bohannan’s financial status reveals her as part of the wealthy elite she speaks against. During the Iowa State Fair, Bohannan shared, “I know what it’s like to work so hard and to still struggle to put food on the table,” emphasizing her modest upbringing in a mobile home in rural Florida. Yet, this narrative omits her notable real estate holdings and investments.

According to investment platform Quiver Quantitative, Bohannan’s estimated net worth is around $3.18 million. Recently, she acquired a luxurious $1.55 million mansion in Iowa City. This impressive 6,400-square-foot property, featuring five bedrooms and six bathrooms on a 1.2-acre lot, was previously owned by University of Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery, as reported by Fox News.

Additionally, public records reveal that Bohannan owns a waterfront condo in Sarasota, Florida, purchased for $350,000 and now listed for $797,000. The condo has generated approximately $50,000 annually in rental income for Bohannan and her husband, according to financial disclosures cited by Fox News. Furthermore, she possesses a home in Arcadia, Florida, acquired for $207,000, with a current estimated value of $415,100 according to Zillow, although it is not currently for sale.

Bohannan and her husband own more than $100,000 in tech stocks, including holdings in Apple and Meta, according to Fox News. These stocks have not been sold – even though Bohannan has compiled an ‘ethics plan’ proposal that urges Congress members to stop trading stocks during their Capitol Hill tenures . Bohannan has gone as far as to call out her opponent in the 2026 election to represent Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, Republican incumbent Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks.

Quiver Quantitative reported Miller-Meeks’ net worth as $1.78 million, around half of Bohannan’s. Regardless, Bohannan tried to paint her as unrelatable, with values not in the best interest of residents, in a social media post earlier this month. Sharing an image of Miller-Meeks flying First Class from Des Moines, Iowa, to Washington, DC, Bohannan wrote: ‘This photo tells you more about Miller-Meeks’ true values than her entire town hall did.’

In another post, she called out Miller-Meeks for receiving nearly $1 million from the Super PAC, Americans for Prosperity, backed by the billionaire Koch family. Bohannan wrote that Koch Industries had bought an Iowa fertilizer plant, ‘further decreasing competition, driving up fertilizer prices, and hurting our farmers’ profits.’ ‘The Koch Bros Super PAC Americans for Prosperity has spent $1 million to get Miller-Meeks reelected because they know she fights for her billionaire and corporate donors, not for Iowans,’ she claimed.

Bohannan’s attacks on Miller-Meeks have caused a stir, with local Iowa politicians slamming her as a hypocrite. ‘Christina Bohannan is concerned with 1st class – weird since she just bought a $1.55 million home,’ Austin Hayek, who serves on the Board of Supervisors for Webster County, Iowa, wrote on X. ‘Seems she’s wanting others to share the wealth, but not herself and she cares more about her personal living than the “poor.”‘ The Daily Mail has reached out to Bohannan’s campaign and Miller-Meeks’ office for comment.
