State Representative Megan Jones of Sioux Rapids has officially launched her re‑election campaign for Iowa House District 6.
Jones, a Republican who has served in the Iowa House since 2013, announced her plans this week, saying she intends to continue advocating for what she calls “smaller government and smarter spending” as she seeks another term.
Jones highlighted several legislative efforts she’s been involved in, including work on commercial property tax cuts and disaster‑relief legislation aimed at helping communities better withstand flooding. She said those efforts reflect her focus on keeping Iowa affordable, supporting families, and strengthening local communities.
Jones, who lives on a family farm near Sioux Rapids with her husband, Will, and their five children, emphasized that her priorities are shaped by her experience as a farm wife and mother. She said she wants to continue working on policies that support safe neighborhoods, strong schools, and responsible budgeting.
In the Iowa House, Jones currently serves as Chair of the Transportation Committee, where she focuses on infrastructure policy and regulatory issues. She also serves on the State Government and Ways and Means committees, along with the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund Budget Subcommittee, which recommends investments in public buildings, water quality, environmental initiatives, and community development projects.
Over the course of her legislative career, Jones has held several leadership roles, including chairing the Environmental Protection, Administrative Rules, and Local Government committees, and serving as an Assistant Majority Leader.
Outside the legislature, Jones works as a prosecutor. She grew up in Spencer and graduated from Spencer High School before earning her bachelor’s degree from Drake University and her law degree from William Mitchell College of Law.
Jones says she’s proud of the work accomplished in recent years but believes there is more to do. She says she’s running again to continue advocating for fiscal responsibility, efficient government, and policies that strengthen rural Iowa.
House District 6 includes communities in northwest Iowa, including parts of Clay and Buena Vista counties.
