The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Iowa were held on Tuesday,November 4,2014,to elect the four U.S. representatives from the state of Iowa,one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices,including Governor of Iowa and United States Senate. Primary elections were held on June 4,2014.

The 1984 United States presidential election in Iowa took place on November 6,1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia,were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College,which selected the president and vice president of the United States. Iowa was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California,who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas,and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York,the first major female candidate for the vice presidency. While the majority of counties turned out for Reagan,the politically volatile state of Iowa was a relatively narrow victory for him,thanks in part to the Midwest Farm Crisis of the early 1980s. The relatively weak Republican trend for this election is highlighted with the loss of Des Moines's highly populated Polk County to Mondale.
