Sarah Trone Garriot’s Rigged Primary

March 24, 2026

It’s official, Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott has rigged the system to clear the field, making her the only Democrat running in Iowa’s Third Congressional District.

First, she and the Iowa Democrat Party forced Jennifer Konfrst to suspend her campaign. Now, Xavier Carrigan has been kicked off the ballot due to challenges to his paperwork.

Sarah Trone Garriott knows she can’t win on her own, so she’s strong-arming her opponents into giving up instead of allowing voters to have a voice in the process. 

“Sarah Trone Garriott didn’t win the field, she cleared it. If she’s willing to shut out her own party’s voters, Iowans can’t trust her to represent them in Congress.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Emily Tuttle
